1962 chrysler engine identification
 

i have read of a special order of the 1962 chrysler 300 with the 413 engine. it had code R41 or code S42. where would the code be found on the car?

On the raised machined area behind the water pump on the block. 41 is for 413, 42 is for 426 wedge. R is 1961 S is 1962.

i read in a book at Barnes and Nobel of a 1962 chrysler special order 413 high compression engine . it had code R41 or S42. perhaps the numbers are published wrong in the book. from what you said the R41 would not be a 62 chrysler and the s42 could not be a 413 engine. the article in the book was talking about the 62 chrysler with a 413 engine. please let me know if you find any information about this. thank you. my 62 chrysler is a 4-door and does have the code S41 where you said to look.it does have the in-line 2-four barrell carter carburators.
