What tools needed for engine rebuild?

would this engine stand be what you mean with wider wheels?

No. Do not get a stand like that. They suck balls. Look at the tubes the bolts install in that bolt to the block. Look what the tubes are welded to. Only two "fingers" hold each tube for a length of less than a 1" weld on each side of the tube. Very weak design.

I usually steer away from recommending Harbor Freight for anything, but in this case, it is an exception.

I have one of those and it is the best engine stand I have ever had, bar none. I have been working on cars since 1974. Bought my first stand probably about 1979. I have had everything from Snap On to OTC. Look how the tubes are installed on that HF stand. They are installed THROUGH solid fingers on the head and welded in. MUCH stronger than the Jegs crappola. I have my 1956 Hemi on mine right now and I don't think the stand even knows it is there. The engine weighs around 750. You can get a HF 25% off coupon and get a good deal on it. It folds up, too.
