Default LS6 Block

What is a bare LS-6 block and crank worth. My son has one sitting in the shed and he is going a different direction and needs to sell this one. He's stationed elsewhere in the Navy.
Thanks Ed
what the significant difference between the LS1 and LS6 block?

The only differences between the LS1 and LS6 blocks are that the LS6 blocks have larger bay "windows" between the cylinders that are supposed to improve crankcase breathing. The LS6 has cast windows, whereas LS1s have 2 small holes machined through.

I have no clue on price, sorry.

Location? Some people are impulse buyers, get someone to look at it and you might get $100 to $300 for it depending on whats included and condition.

The crank has a rusted rod journal but I'm sure getting turned would clean that up.

Got the main caps? What are the numbers on the drivers side rear of the block, cast right under the cylinder head deck surface?
Any idea why it's stripped down to nothing?
Or do any other parts come with it?
