WTB: Gen II Viper Block

Tanked · April 22nd, 2005, 11:02 PM

Guys, I'm looking for a rebuildable block. I got a set of heads lined up but I need a block. New blocks are 3k. So I figure 2k is reasonable for a rebuildable.

I have a complete creampuff engine, and trans also. PM me if interested. It has a claimed 2500 miles on it. I opened it up, it is clean inside. Came out of a totalled car. When I say complete, I mean wiring harness, ac compressor, the works.

Tanked, is your block shot? That sucks, man!

I didn't realize blocks were this cheap... 3k for a new one? that really isn't bad at all...

Yeah, but it's $3k that I sure wouldn't want to have to spend.

They are not making Gen 2 blocks anymore. Im sure the price will go up soon. I did hear Dodge will offer a Gen 2 long block in the future, but will probably be around 7-10,000

KennyUK · April 24th, 2005, 05:16 AM

I am selling a Gen 2 motor right now for 6500.00 if anyone is interested. The car it came out of was not in an accident, and looks good. Also have a transmission and rear end.

Now this is a good deal!

There was a Dodge dealer in New Orleans on Vetrans Ave. who had one in stock. I think it was a little under $3000. I don't remember the dealers name.

OMG your are too funny Kenny.

You'll have a viper soon enough. I could sell you a busted block real cheap. With a little work it would make a great table.

Thanks for the help. However I am planing on running 10-15psi of boost. I feel it's best I stay forged. But thanks very much for the offer. :thumb:
