oilslickwillie Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 I have a 41 Plymouth Coupe and I believe the engine and transmission is from a Dodge truck, not sure of the year. Can anyone recognize a transmission with these numbers: On left side of transmission is 853853-3 also has a J 31. On the tailstock is the following: 853880-3. I tried looking these numbers up but did not find them. Any suggestions? Quote
greg g Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 picture??? What is the engine number? Located on the casting boss above the generator just below the head. That will tell you the year and source of the engine, and most likely the trans if they were swapped as a pair. Quote
Young Ed Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 I would say its unlikely they swapped the truck trans in. Truck trans from the era don't really have a tailshaft either. More than likely they swapped the engine and retained the rest. This is the 3spd in my 46 pickup. Quote
oilslickwillie Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Posted October 13, 2012 The engine is out of a 53 Dodge pickup. Not sure about the tranny. Quote
