With respect to the support, I think that it's a good idea and would be easy to make. Especially if you weld, or have a local shop make it for you. But, it doesn't allow for moving the motor while supported, so I would personally prefer to store the motor long term on a pallet with cribbing. Easy enough to add cheap casters to a pallet to make it easy to move if you don't have a forklift or pallet jack.

Set the engine in there with a couple pieces of wood, and it's super easy to move around, and has a small footprint.

That is really awesome that your son is involved. I love those photos. It brings back memories of me helping my dad when I was a kid. It's something that we still do together to this day. In my personal opinion, there is no better way for two men to get to know each other, grow closer and love each other than to do it while working on something together. I hope that you and your son have a long lifetime ahead of you of connecting with each other in that way. Thank you for sharing those photos.
A bunch of the 928 guys have met my son, JP, at SITM and Rendezvous,and they can probably attest that he might be a bigger car guy than I am.
I hope he'll be able to enjoy his passion without gas engines becoming outlawed and everything going electric, as that's just not as much fun.
