I'm now turning my full attention to locating the transmission.

Hopefully, it is being run in a vehicle and not sitting on a stand rusting inside.

I bet that engine can be bought somehow, you just need to want it more than they do.
Great story and amazing detective work!!

Here is a very early photo when original owner Bruce Cremean raced the car. Check out the trophy on the hood. That is also his '55 tow wagon. I apologize for the low quality. I'll upload a better quality photo when I can.
