Sounds like an LT1 that crapped out on the guy from a bottom end failure... He probably got tired of the car and wants to sell it. So you have an unkown engine block with 6 miles on it... who knows if it was built properly or not. I would pass on it unless he wanted $1,200 for the car. Plus this guy is playing dumb and knows nothing about the car.

By "crate engine" do you mean it came out of a "crate" aka jalopy? OR....by crate do you mean a new or rebuilt long block. I frankly doubt that anyone would actually buy an LT1 crate engine, since it would be less expensive to buy a short block and build it out with the remnants of your current engine, plus any mods, e.g. cam, heads, etc.
It's basically a matter of Caveat Emptor----unless you get the paperwork, a guarantee that you can depend on and a damn good deal, my advise would be to pass.JMHO
