64 Newport engine ID

["Tim Hulse" <thulse@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the info on the 1964 Newport motor. It did have the 2-barrel
set up. Wishful thinking. Just to update anyone who has been reading the
post on the stuck motor. Well it is still stuck. However I did notice about
an 1/8 movement on the crank. I loaded the cylinders up tonight with Marvel
Mystery oil. Will hit it again tomorrow after work. Its hard to do when you
only get about an hour a night.

Thanks
Tim

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
