I built a simple wood engine break in stand for my Austin Healey engine.
ENGINE TEST RUN STAND PARTS
Casters 1500lb $25 - amzn.to/2IZj4LE
These are excellent casters. Don't be cheap here. Engines are heavy and if your stand tumbles because a caster failed you are out a lot of money.
Fuel Pump $14 - amzn.to/2IZDVyr
Oil Pressure Gauge $22 - amzn.to/2WrgCW7
Temp Gauge $21 - amzn.to/2UkpzxM
Switch $11 - amzn.to/2Ul7Mqv
You may need 2 of these. One provides power to the engine (fuel pump, coil, etc) while the second one purely powers the starter. I used a solenoid as my 2nd switch.
Starters use a lot of amps so please don't skimp on your switch.
Solenoid $20 - mossmotors.com...
This is what is on my car so it's what I used for the starter
ENGINE ASSEMBLY SUPPLIES
Assembly Lube Liquid $16 - amzn.to/2vwQL4h
Important for things like the rocker shaft and piston rod pins
Assembly Lube $6 - amzn.to/2UhLS7t
thicker stuff for use on anything else in the engine that might slide off over time before starting
Cam Moly Lube $15 - amzn.to/3b7YAN0
Super imporant for the camshaft lobes which take instense pressure
Break In Oil $30 - amzn.to/2Zg4Cal
High in zinc for flat tappet engines. Only use for the first break in period.
Pistol Oiler $8 - amzn.to/3bbp147
For inserting oil in tight spots like priming the oil pump

I get a small $$ referral if you purchase from these links. Regardless, these are the products I bought myself so I stand behind the recommendations.
