Saulius Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hello, I have Chrysler 66 1930, engine no C5595, and want to change camshaft, found it but is from 1933 model. Question - fits it to mine 1930 Chrysler? With best regards Saulius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 for Chrysler powertrain, I have noticed many parts are passed down from Chrysler to Desoto to Dodge to Plymouth over the years, so it pays to look both ways in years of parts. I used to have a Chrysler interchange book that started in 20's and went to about 1956 models. I was amazed then to see the pass down of almost all engine parts. below id info I have now, and I Suspect you will find cam shafts to fit your car //////////// Hollander info : Chyr engine "66" 1930 & 31 interchange connecting rod "66" # 303795 1930 $ 31 cyl head 1929 & 1930 Chry 29-30 "66" see note: below i See 103, 110 & 112 for info / / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 What I find puzzling about the interchange books is that they go to great lengths over pistons, rods, bearings and so on, but no camshaft interchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans1 Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 well when they were doing the books data was most likely on areas that had a demand. Crankshafts and camshafts may have had less demand, more demand for entire engines. Any way if you have a camshaft you can measure and compare Lengths of cam bearings and dia of them to yours. I find the same comparison of parts for my engines over several years. They do not show interchange but they do fit. Of course a crank may have a shorter or longer throw, but can still fit and work. although a significant change. The info is given to help you in obtaining parts from comparable engines, I trust the likely hood of a usable part works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckowner Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) I believe the 1930 Chrysler 66 engine has a timing gear rather than a timing chain. If this is your case, I believe these are unique. The 1930 DeSoto Packet truck engine also uses timing gears. This reverses the rotation of the camshaft.
