Is $500 good for an LT1?

Stumbled across a deal for a running LT1 and tranny for $500 (already out of the car). What is a good deal? Not sure if it's auto or not, it hasn't been sealed as of yet.

He might not let me take the heads off etc, do you have a source for block casting numbers/stampings?

I think the exhaust ports are smaller too. 5.7 are 1 5/8

If it's the 5.7, it will be stamped on the driver side rear of the block 5.7L
