There's an engine stand for sale with a 1,000 lb. capacity for $40 in my area. Would this be enough to support a 6.9 engine?
Yep, I've had cheap 1000 lb stands bend with inline 6 cylinder engines and had one break with a 454 cheby on it as soon as we took the hoist off it in my younger, dumber days.you need a motor stand that can handle 2k of weight if not more.

Get a 2000 lb stand
a fully dressed 7.3 is 1250 IIRC, so a 6.9 would have to be at least 200 lbs less, seems like more
