I had sent a few pics of the car in progress to this woman's boss and she had seen them. Apparently, that prompted her to decide that the engine block and heads belong with the car. Next week I am driving down to St. Louis to pick them up. Sometimes, there are happy endings! Needless to say, I am still in shock as I was not expecting them to turn up.
Great news!!
