Wow.... thats about all there is to say lol. I guess if you could find out how good that block is it might be worth it seeing as the heads look decent. but that would be all that you would be buying is the block and stock heads. IMO.

Sheesh, I'd tell him $100 just to do him the favor of removing the junk from his garage. Do this with a friends email or something though since he has yours. I wouldn't tell him under this new guise that you own a Firebird, or even planned to do anything with the motor other than scrap metal heh.
