It seems like when people find out you are into Mopars, parts start finding their way to your house. I have come home from work to find anonymous boxes of parts on the porch, people stop by to tell me about cars they saw sitting somewhere or parts they have. The last 3 cars we brought home were all abandoned projects that were from leads by friends. Most recently, the county electrical inspector came to do a final inspection on my shop and mentioned to my wife, that he had a 383 sitting in his garage that he would sell. My wife, who is a great supporter of my Mopar addiction, got his information. My son and I went to look and found the guy was a really nice and was into Fox body Mustangs but had done a favor for a someone in the '90's and switched this 383 out for a 440 in a '70 Challenger. Here's what we came home with- a complete '70 383 HP with some old speed parts and and an unsilenced 68/69 air cleaner for reasonable price.
Supposedly the car is still in Oregon. If you know somebody in the Portland, OR area with a '70 Challenger R/T that was originally a 383 Los Angeles built car with the last 3 of the vin being 546, this is their engine. It would be cool to get this back in the original car that it came in.
