OK, seems to be the best spot for expert advice. Neighbor passed last year and was a stock car racer from the 50s. Much of his collection was outside but the prized stuff was in the house. Most of what he had he kept very quiet about. He told me told that he had a wedge motor that was built for Daytona in 1963 that he got when he work the speed shops in Florida. I just saw it today. It is perhaps never ran and a spare of which I am trying to verify. It is a silver NOS Chrysler high compression block with a red Chrysler metal tag held on with one rivet on the pass side. That too has a number stamped on it. The heads and manifold as well as air cleaners, carbs and the under the car factory large tube exhaust with cross over and cutout plates. Have yet to locater the cast iron exhaust headers but I believe they are somewhere. It has flywheel and clutch.
What is thing? Never heard of a factory race short block with the HC stamp selected in this thread. It definitely was not sold in a car. Once we find all the parts it is for sale. Has a factory compilation of literature with the exhaust pictured in it as well. Any help is appreciated. I will get photos.
