Well there's a link to a video of it running in this thread from 2010

"Steve Wurst of Access to Space LLC has recovered some of the historic hardware from the ‘‘bone yard’’ of The Marquardt Company, as its property was
being sold in bankruptcy, and transformed it into a modern combined cycle access to space launcher concept on private financing."

His LinkedIn profile says his new company
is working on a propulsion system. It is probably worth contacting him there.

You could also call some of the aviation salvage / surplus companies around Van Nuys to see if they have anything from Marquardt. Norton Surplus has a lot from Rocketdyne, etc and would be a starting point
