Roger Howard gave you the quick solution to that. If
there are any swapmeets (other than "all-Chevy" or
something like that) coming to your area it's possible
one of the bigger literature vendors will show up. The
stuff tends to be pricy but worth its weight in gold.

This could get ugly. The red coloring in the '61
Chrysler taillight lenses faded early and NOS/good
used replacements are few and far between. (An
excellent candidate for reproduction, someone?) I saw
a pair of NOS lenses go up into the $400-$500 range on
eBay a few months back. If you find good used ones,
jump all over them! (Faded lenses can be recolored
with "transparent red" paint, available at art supply
stores. Get it in a spraycan if you can find it. Play
around with it on a clear plastic object you aren't
concerned with before attacking your lenses, you
really don't want blobs on something like this.. A
plastic soft drink bottle is a good example of
something to practice on. You may not achieve show
quality but it'll look waaaaaay better than red tape.)

That's just what Chrysler Division called its engines
that year, no more exotic than stock (but a cool name
anyway).
I wish you the best. I've always wanted a '61 NY, IMO
the '60-'62 Chrysler has the coolest instrument
cluster of all time, bar none!
