Default LS6 motor

Found what appears to be a good deal on a ls6 motor.
The car was in a fire, going to see it tomorrow.
What to look for to see if this is worth it?

all the accessories are likely to be trash, along with the intake. block should be fine, if it didn't get too hot and warp anything.

If it is an LS6 then I def look to see if it got hot enough to melt the block or heads or anything else. Never know what kind of fire it was in. But if it's a C6 Z06 with the LS7 and it has low miles and cheap, I'd jump all over it!!!
