The OP's question was what plant the Hemi block came from.
All Hemi blocks came from the Trenton (Michigan) Engine Plant.
All Hemi engines were assembled and tested in Marysville, Michigan. I believe the official title was the Chrysler Industial and Marine Plant.
The 12 Scariest Words in the English Language:

we want to help you.
1968 Plymouth Road Runner, Hemi and much more
1968 Dodge Charger, 318 and not much else
1958 Dodge Pick Up, 383 and loud
1966 Dodge Van, Slant 6 and cool

Looks like a Lynch Road car. What is stamped on the underside of the oil pan rail extension?
Scott, I will have to ask the owner to look.

Doug and Dan, Thank you for the possible placement of this block. It would be interesting if we could find the original car for this.

Scott, that would be something! Would you happened to know that car? Is it missing the original block? I have access to this hemi block. The goal is to reunite.

Help me out Scott.... I'm looking at a sorted list of SB VINs. Superbird VINs sorted by sequence 37 RM23 U 0A 155797 5-Nov 13-Nov 32 RM23 V 0A 155798 5-Nov 11-Nov 182 RM23 V 0A 155799 11-Nov 12-Nov 21 RM23 V 0A 155800 4-Nov 14-Nov 18 RM23 V 0A 155801 4-Nov 12-Nov 25 RM23 V 0A 155802 5-Nov 12-Nov 86 RM23 V 0A 155803 7-Nov 14-Nov 120 RM23 R 0A 158577 10-Nov 10-Nov 296 RM23 R 0A 158578 13-Nov 14-Nov 33 RM23 R 0A 158579 5-Nov 10-Nov 267 RM23 R 0A 158580 13-Nov 17-Nov 714 RM23 V 0A 167967 21-Nov 21-Nov 693 RM23 V 0A 167968 21-Nov 21-Nov 1055 RM23 U 0A 167969 1-Dec 2-Dec 705 RM23 V 0A 167970 21-Nov 26-Nov Span 13 90 848 ? RM23 V 0A 167982 Joe Ward List 669 RM23 V 0A 168702 20-Nov 21-Nov 964 RM23 U 0A 168703 28-Nov 1-Dec 1018 RM23 U 0A 168704 1-Dec 1-Dec that specific VIN either in 158204 or 168204 form, doesn't appear on the list. Are there other Superbirds that have popped up that are not on the original list? It seems odd that a RM VIN would pop up in the middle of some W* cars. Any insight you can offer?

If the VIN is RM23ROA166204, I'm pretty sure it matches a known Superbird.
Story could get interesting if that one is already "numbers matching"....

Scott,
If you have contact with the owner, and he would like to find the block, e-mail me.
