Hi folks, i have a tx9 ragtop cuda. I am in search of the original engine, which was pulled from the car in Danbury Conn, around 1978 at a bodyshop across from the old Van Houghton Dealership. It is a 340, and at that time had a 6-pk setup on it. Any help would be awesome, looking for the orig tranny also. Thank you for any leads!!!!  Vin#353171 car was owner by a Donald Armstrong at that time, car was getting a a new k-member, and Donald said the 340 was too radical for him, nice decision Donald!!!! Anyone in Danbury area remember a black cuda with a white top, tan interior, that engine goes to this car, Help give this rare car it's original swagger back!!! Car was ordered by, you guessed, a rebel cop!!! His crusier

I live in New Fairfield and I will keep an eye out for this as well. I also (coincidentally) own a 70 cuda 4sp that has a 340 in it. (Coded for a 383 HP) I am in the process of rebuiding a 383 to go back in..  My 340 came out of a 72 RoadRunner (back in my Bronx days (80's), so it's not the one you are looking for, but I will keep an eye out.......
