RBs36, the rear of the block isn't the issue. I currently have a 216 on a stand and it fits fine with the pivot just above the center of the crank so it's not so top-heavy and can be turned over without killing me. The main issue is the front of the stand as well as the distance to the front support. Definitely DO NOT put a straight six on a 3 wheel stand. At a minimum a 4 wheel stand should be used. I modified mine to widen the stance on the rear and it also has a slightly longer center bar that puts the front wheels farther forward. No issues with a fully assembled engine on it.
