64 Newport engine ID

["Peter Engel" <peter.engel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

I second the opinion that the Newport will most likely have the 383-2V
engine.  Check the carb setup...  If it's a 2V it's NOT a 413.

Sadly, even if it IS a 413 you can't just drop it into your 60.  Pre-62
models had a different crankshaft to work with the older style
transmission.

Hey gang,
 Found a 1964 Chrysler Newport with a engine that is free. Meaning when
I grabbed the fan and turned on it the crank turned also. My question is
how can I tell if it is a 413 like my 1960? I couldn't find any markings
on the engine to tell me the size. The rear of the car has fire damage.
She wants $100.00 for the whole car.

Thanks
Tim
