The torque converter has the gear on it for the starter. I have made a test stand / eng. storage stand, but can not use it if the transmission. I have to put them together and run them together.You just need to the starter and ring gear. It is nice to have an engine test stand, but many people run their motors on the floor, or even on their test stand. Depending on how long you wish to run it, you will have to consider a water source or a radiator. for cooling. I like to run them for at least a half hour to break in new cams and check for leaks. I also rig a set of mufflers so you can hear the motor.
