Looking for Original Hemi Block for my Road Runner. RM23J9G282315

[blue69x]

Would love to find original engine block out of the 69 Hemi Road Runner I am restoring. I have traced the history of the car back to Austin Minnesota in the mid 70's, and the engine was gone already at that time. The car was sold out of Holiday Dodge as a used car at that time. Any help would really be appreciated!
Thanks!

Chris, the car shows up on the NHOA hemi vin list that was published in 1990, the last name of the owner in 1978-82 time frame was Lewis. I know that is not a lot of information but it might give you something to look into.

Thanks Matt. Jeff Lewis was the guy I purchased if from in 2015. I have gone back two owners before Jeff, but the engine was already out of the car by that time. (Around 1976) Thank you for looking into it for me. I have the bodywork/paint done, and am getting ready to work on the engine I have for it. Just thought I would throw it out there one more time to see if I might get lucky and someone might remember the car, and know where the engine might be!!
Thank you for the info!!

Chris does the engine you have for the car have any vin information from what it is out of originally? Myself and good friend of mine keep a Hemi vin list of cars, engines ect. that show up, so I was curious.

Thanks Matt for that history! I have contacted the guy who owns the Road Runner the engine I got from Jeff was out of, but he is not too interested in reuniting the car with the engine. Next time I dig it out, I will post a VIN of the block I have. As I recall, his car was located in Washington state.
