Default WTB.. LS1 junk engine block

I am wanting to make an Ls1 engine cofee table. I am looking for a junk enine block that will make a good coffee table once cleaned up. Preferably without a hole through the side.. Also i dont want a good one, I wont pay alot for it. Let me know your price.. Houston area as well. Thanks.
If you have 4 rods and pistons, that would also be a plus.

I'll think on it, but i really didnt want to spend that much. That's y i figured it would be better to ask for one that couldnt be repaired. If you will go lower let me know. Anyone else have one??

You know you cant bolt the rod to the top right ? Is that how you plan to put the pistons ? I've already looked into this too but I'm going to use an ironblock ls1 you can get those for nothing.
