tom1954 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 New project car, looking for tubeless type 15" wheels, 4 1/2" bolt pattern, 5-6" width, for 54 New Yorker. Also may be needing electrical parts (starter relay and dash switches). Also, anyone switched one over to 12 volts? What is involved? Are there benefits to doing it?

RSayak Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 My brother is parting out a rusty 1954 New Yorker. It may have parts you need, however, I recall the wheels are missing, so that won't help you much. However, if you just want any 15" wheels, 4 1/2" bolt pattern, 5-6" width, I suggest looking into regular 1960's-80's Dodge car wheels. If you plan on using full wheel covers, then these may work, though I have not personally tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpneroz Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I have access to a 4 door 1954 Chrysler Windsor parts car. What interchanges there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could use a heat riser (if it is in working condition) and an extra starter relay (the black junction box mounted on the left fenderwell).

tom1954 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I do not know, the Windsor is probably a 6 and I have the 331. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSayak Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I will have a look if the heat riser is still there and if there's any starter relay and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merdead Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1954 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, I have seen the front floor pans advertised, I was considering them for the project car but then did not need them after finding my present car. I am not sure on the motors but I would think that all the hemi's up to the late 50's would be pretty much the same block. I do know that up to 53 the upper half of bell housing was cast as part of the block. That changed in 54 when the entire bell housing was a separate piece. My project car was a 54 but had a early style 53 block in it, maybe they were just using up what they had on the line. My present car has the newer style block.
