    question on spitfire engine id

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Thanks so much for you help and if anyone can verify that the motor mounts are correct or if they are not, how I could get the correct ones. Thanks again, what a great site this is!

    Almost forgot, does anyone make patch panels for the front floor both sides? 1954 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon.

    The engine you have pictured above is a Chrysler Windsor Spitfire V8. The engine ID number is located on the top of the front of the block between the oil filler pipe and the water pump. It will have a suffix with a W which indicates Windsor. Post the ID number and we can tell you what year and the engine cubic inch. The 54 New Yorker had a 331 cubic inch hemi V8. The term baby hemi usually refers to the Dodge hemis and DeSoto hemis which are physically smaller than the Chryslers. The difference between your "polysphere" and the "hemisphere" engine is the heads, pistons, cam and pushrods. All other parts are the same as the hemi. The transmission pictured is Powerflie two speed auto, standard with this engine.

    Thanks here are the numbers Like you said they start with a W:

    WE5537180

    There should be an engine number stamped on a flat machined surface at the front of the engine, between the heads if it is a V8. A Chrysler engine will start with a C.

    I looked and the only thing I can see is on the left side flat surface about the same height as motor mount the letter F on the other side same height the are the numbers 0 1242

    Hi can you ID my engine to. I'm not sure if these are the ID number or not. I got them off of the heads and they are both the same in an area close to the intake. 1555768-2 Number on the intake is 1610472-1 and the transmission is 1408240-6. This complete engine and trans or not in the car yet but it came with my purchase. The car is a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon. I was told the engine it came with was a baby Hemi? and that had been removed years ago. I plan on using this in the car unless someone knows better, won't fit etc etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks any way. Do you know if any one is making floor patch panels for this car and if you or any one else knows about what engines and transmissions are a direct replacement (fit). I just got the car and was told it originally had a Hemi but a previous owner removed it. The person I got the car from has a Mopar V8 that says Spitfire on the valve covers and he says it is a direct fit out of a 56 or 56 Chrysler. Can anyone tell me if this is correct? I can ID the motor if someone will tell me how. Thanks for any help.

    Hello I am new to this site. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just purchased today a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker station wagon and looking for better parts. I need both headlight rings, drivers front fender chrome molding, both turn parking lights and a glove box door, and a steering wheel. Probably more stuff as I look it over. Do you know if anyone makes front and may be back floor pans? My email is merdead@att.net

    Thanks
