Is there a good way for mounting an MG blcok on an engine stand for
building a motor?

The obvious ways to do so tend to interfere with some critical phase
of the assembly, such as installing the backing plate or flywheel.

Has anyone ever built a jig that works well for holding the motor?
Maybe something that bolts on where the oil pan would? 
Maybe something that attaches to the side, where the motor mounts
attach? 

Likewise, is there an easily obtained tool that'll engage with the
teeth on the flywheel and bolt to the backing plate, to keep the crank
from turning when torquing down flywheel, crank or pulley bolts? I
always end up needing to find someone to hold a BUS (Big Ugly
Screwdriver) wedged into the teeth while I wrestle with the torque
wrench.
