Where to post matching engine search

[Todd Puzey]

My son and I recently bought a 70 AAR that was turned into a drag car in Ohio in 1979. We are in Western Canada and are gathering the parts to put the car back to factory AAR specs. We tracked all the previous owners down which is cool, and the second owner was the one who turned the car into a drag car in 79. He pulled the TA engine out and sold it and replaced it with a Hemi out of a 68 charger R/T.
We have been hunting for a TA engine for our car or even the correct parts to build one. I saw the thread in the parts for sale section about a TA engine that was listed for sale, and with some help from people on here the owner was tracked down of the car the engine came out of and they were re united.
That’s the dream scenario for us as well so we’ve posted our car/engines serial number on various registries but that thread got me thinking I should post that on here as well in case someone knows of a TA engine, or even better our car’s original engine.

Long winded story but my question is, where should I post up on the forum that we are looking for that engine?

sure. this site, this forum, is fine. most of the site content is indexed by google and other search engines. include the full VIN, and when someone does a search on that VIN, they will get a hit on your post,

We don't have a "Lost and Found" forum here so Mopar General forum would work fine.

Ok, thanks gents.
The vin# of our AAR is BS23J0B308562.
If anyone know of an available TA engine in Canada, or ideally knows where our original engine is please let me know!

Have you had the car for long? @Todd Puzey

A year. Our research and in talking to previous owners is that the car was sold new in Ohio, turned into a drag car and raced in Ohio for many years, then it went to Colorado, then made a couple of stops north of the border before coming to us.
