Guest Sam's1967 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, I recently went by the junk yard and located what appears to be some sort of Chrysler. Can you please help me identify the year and model of the vehicle as well as size of the engine? I was able to pull the alternator bracket, compressor mount bracket and the power steering brackets for the vehicle. Was the set up just used on this particular vehicle or other models and years? If so, any info would be greatly appreciated. Also, is it worthwhile to pick up the compressor (kinda pricey) and there is a 99.9% chance that it needs a rebuild.

supersix Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 It looks to be a 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. That should be a 413 engine, if original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sam's1967 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks for the info, I looked at some images of a 62 and it looks like a 62 New Yorker. I took a look at a VIN Locator that I found on the net: http://www.lhmopars.com/vin62-65.htm It appears to have been a taxi? Also, any info on whether the parts that I pulled will work on other years and models?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 If it is a 413 then it is a raised deck like the 440. So everything should interchange with other high deck engines. With the compressor off of the engine look at the front of the engine on the drivers side. There will be a machined surface near where the head meets the block near where the hold down for the intake gasket is. If that machined surface is horizontal it is a high deck, if it is at an angle it is a low deck. If it is a low deck there may be a difference in the compressor brackets. It is very difficult if not impossible to see this machined surface with the compressor in place. Unless you are going for a 100% original restoration I don't think I would spend to much on a used junk yard unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below you will find some additional photographs. Hopefully this helps re whether the engine is a "raised deck" Also, I was wondering what years/models the hood hinges will fit off of the 62 New Yorker?

JACK M Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yup, Raised deck. It probably has '413' stamped on that pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The blocks are not stamped with all three digits of the displacement. A 413 is factory stamped " 41 ". A 383 is stamped " 38 ". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
