    Hi im new to this site I have a 1939 Chrysler royal 2dr sedan. I'm currently working on restoring it. I have the original flat head 6 but its froze up. I found an engine out of what i believe to be a 50 new yorker. They both say spitfire on the head with lightning bolts. They bolt up but the oil filler tube is in a different location and the starter wont fit. I would prefer an automatic tranny anyway id prefer a mopar if theirs a conversion kit out their any help is welcome

    If you really want to make a trans change I can help, but be forewarned that many things are involved and not a job for a novice. A well equipped garage is a must. Pm or call, 888-436-4727

    I would also suggest searching for other web-forums that may have a sub-group dedicated to similar vintage, this will help answer vehicle specific questions. There are numerous forums that have very good info on the engine/trans as the flat 6 & 8 were basically the same for many years,
