With the info you have, you may be able to track down the original motor. It does not sound like it was in it by the time it got to the salvage yard so one of the previous owner's knows. Of course, many 4 speed Hemi car's did not have motors that survived but you hear about them being found every once in a while. Good luck.




Thanks... I started my Internet investigation yesterday, and ran into my first dead end. Chuck Taylor Motors is no longer around, and the current occupants of their business location said no former employees were retained when they bought the business.

I might have better luck tracking down the original owner "Dan"... after 15 minutes of detective work using property records and phone listings, I believe that I have located his parents. The lady that I spoke with remembers her son having a car like the silver Hemi RR that he purchased new and raced a lot. He sold the car when he joined the US Marines... She said she would pass along my phone number to Dan.

Stay tuned...
