Also, check with local rental stores, some of them carry items like torque wrenches and cam bearing installation tools, even engine stands, altough I highly reccomend you buying an engine stand because most of the times your engine will remain bolted to it longer than expected due to lack of time or money or availability of parts, and if you need to return the borrowed stand you'll get into some kind of trouble, a low cost stand will do fine for most smallblocks, for a big block maybe you should install the accesories later when the engine is in the car.
