industrial straight 8 for New Yorker?

I'm thinking of buying a '46 New Yorker that lacks an engine and a transmission. Another person in that same town has an industrial straight 8 of the same era for sale that he says has been rebuilt. He indicated that it has a different kind of bellhousing. Could that engine be mated to a standard fluid drive transmission of that time period to go in the New Yorker? I'm sorry but I don't have any pictures or engine codes at this time, and probably won't have that info until I am there and will have to make a decision on the spot as it is very far away.

Go to (c49er) forum. He has the knowledge in that area.

Thanks, I saw that in the recent thread that Rusty started. Maybe he will weigh in here.

You need to be careful with theIndustrial Chrysler engines. The manifolds could be different as could the water pump and 8 bolt crankshaft stickout. I'll post some pictures this weekend of what the 1949-50 Chrysler engine should look like. I have gotten into trouble more than once on Chrysler Industrial engines. I'm pretty sure it will not be a direct bolt in.

Hello out there, I had contacted Clinton about the 41 New Yorker he has, but his car is a 40 Chrysler 4 door Windsor or Royal. If anyone is interested this can be saved from the scrap yard. I just don't need a 6 cylinder parts car right now.

There are some photos on his profile page, parts cars are good to have.

The car is located in south east PA
