Viper Alum V10 New bare block

[j-c-c-62]

Brand new never used, as pictured, as is, bought decade or so ago to make a man cave coffee table when I was married, that idea didn't go over well, wife is now gone, maybe someone could use this, I don't drink a lot of coffee and a Viper is not in my future.
There is one Mopar casting number pictured. This another faint date, but looks to be a design or series date, but not casting date? "11'10.9", some delivery possible east of Mississippi. $2000 plus freight/insurance Contact by PM.
I understand the normal and expected hesitation with this being my first post on the forum.
I'm sure with effort I can establish credibility for those sincerely interested in this block.
Meaning, I will not be offended.

3K+ views and not one serious comment?
Starting to think maybe I should give coffee a try?

Yeah, that is only thing they are good for. You can't get cyl for them anymore from the dealer. So, coffee table time!!!

 

[j-c-c-62]

So I am thinking a chrome finish like the Chrome Plasma by Edelbrock intake manifolds for the block, a slight green 1/2" tempered glass top, dark oiled walnut base, and some hidden internal soft LED lighting, and decaf, any guess on mileage?

Thanks guys, I tried.

What generation is that block? I'm guessing maybe 1 or 2? I've only seen 3+ stuff since I've had mine apart a few times, but I could have sworn Prefix replaced a sleeve or two when I sent it to them after my last rod bearing failure. I could see gen 1/2 stuff not being as available though.

Those are G1 blocks

I have not a clue what generation my block here is, or if that is indeed a faint date code in the casting, but I am all ears on the subject.

05245052. Call dealer and you will see it is G1 block. But Mike knows by looking at it.

 

[j-c-c-62]

Well, yesterday I picked up my 40"x24" beveled tempered glass table top.
I've got a call into my exotic wood distributor for a 2" solid chunk of walnut for the base.
I'll share some pics for anyone interested as progress continues.

 

[BoondocSaint]

Yes, pics are definitely welcome. One of these days I'll get around to building one. Probably LS based, but you never know, a V10 could be in the cards.

Very obviously a wet liner block - so Gen1. Also, no t-stat/CCV outlet behind timing case, so not Gen2.

@GTS Dean but i do see a rag stuck in one of the holes you?

Sorry bud but just had too and couldn't resist.
