Looks like a gen 3 to me based on those valve covers. An earlier gen 3 (03-04) based on the block not having the mounts for knock sensors as well.

so on heads there is "3" stamping, so it could be 2003

Thanks a lot for help.
How much could it be worth block and how much heads ?

Looks like June 2003
The 12 segments around the 3 are filled in depending on the month of casting

Hard to say on worth. Over in Europe they are far less common, so they could be worth more to someone over there looking to fix a broken car. I recently had a car finder contact me for a client in Sweden that was looking for Viper engines to fix some cars that were broken, but I have no idea what generation they were. You might look around and see if anyone has parts for sale over there to get an idea of the market.
