desoto 5053 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 hallo everyone need help finding the oil pump for a 1953 chrysler 265 motor your help will be appeciated tanks Quote
austinsailor Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Doesn't the same oil pump fit all the 23" and 25" motors? Quote
keithb7 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 I wonder why my 1953 C60 stamped 25" 265 engine does not have the cool red "Spitefire" logo. Quote
dpollo Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Is the engine attached to a Fluid Torque drive? If that is the case, the pump requires a cover with the bypass valve built into it. The rest of the pump is the same as all gyrotor pumps and the cover could be transferred to the regular pump. If the engine is attached to a standard transmission or to a regular Fluid Drive then the plain cover pump can be used. The SPITFIRE letters were most often found on 49 engines. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Both my 53 and 1954 Chrysler 265 engines have the "Spitfire" lettered heads. I had a 51 Windsor that also had the lettered head. Edited March 19, 2018 by Dodgeb4ya Quote

keithb7 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Could be a Canadian thing Fargo. My car VIN plates tells me it was made in Detroit. However the engine could have easily been swapped out at a later time. Here in Canada a previous owner could have swapped in a Canadian engine. Or my VIN was changed? Who knows.

Whats your engine number? And does it end in C meaning built in Canada? No Spitfire heads ever on a Windsor Ontario built Canadian engine. Edited March 19, 2018 by 55 Fargo Spitfire Quote
55 Fargo Posted March 19, 2018 Report Posted March 19, 2018 Most Canadian engines i have ever seen end in C. Yours could be a US built engine just minus the Spitfire head. Quote
Dozerman51 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Posted March 20, 2018 That is a very nice looking flathead, that's for sure. Congratulations. Quote
