The Leeds plant, just about two minutes west of the Truman Sports Complex. I took a tour of the plant in the early 60s with my Boy Scout troop. It's long gone now, repurposed years ago. there was a junk yard across the street back in '68 where I bought a 331 Chrysler hemi for $50. I didn't notice number 7 piston and rod sticking out the side of the broken block until I had it home and was disassembling it. Came away with two nice heads, valves, rockers and covers in good enough shape that I recouped my investment after I got them cleaned up.
