Dunno about the seal...
I would imagine it's hard to torque the bolts while the engine is free
swinging. But I wouldn't think a stand was absolutely necessary. Just lay
it gently on the ground on its side.
I did my V8 with it sitting on a wooden pallet on the garage floor. Now I
have a stand (but have only used to confirm that yes, my old engine was
hosed).
