My thought: Why bother. The 6.9 isn't near the engine that the new diesels are. Unless you have one sitting around I wouldn't spend anything for one, and even if I had one, worth more to part it out than to install it. I had one, got around 12-14 mpg, no more power than a small block. Buy a replacement motor for what was in there, will be easier, cheaper, and pickup will be worth more afterwards...if you are set on a diesel, step up to a Cummins (kits can be found), or at least a turbo 7.3...
