What would you do ??

I am in a quandry and not sure what to do.

Here is the situation.

I have been rat-holing a 71 340 bare block for a rainy day. Its just the block and mains. Thats it. It is a virgin bore block. I have never had it checked for damages but I suspect all is good as the bores and such all look clean.
Will I ever do anything with it ? Dunno... dont have the funds to build it so it just sits as it is.

The offer.
I have a mechanic here at work that would love to take the block off my hands AS IS. He has offered to BUY the basic MSD set up for my Duster and remove all the crap that chrysler has in there and INSTALL the MSD stuff and whatever needs to go with it. (Keep in mind I have been having all kinds of electrical issues with my ignition system). I dont do electrical. So that part would be benificial to me.

I know what the block typically goes for... the question is... would it be worth trading him out and avoiding my headaches with my car and clear a spot in the garage where the block sits ?

Or would I be dumb to unload this block in trade ?

Thoughts ??
