Re: IML: High output Starter For 60imp 383



Hi Jim -
I'm not ready to bet my Imperial on it, but I believe the 383 and the 413 use the same casting for the engine block and thus are a little difficult to tell apart.  The difference is in the bore and stroke.  The 413 used in the Imperial and New Yorker has (stock) a 4.19" bore and 3.750" stroke.  The 383 used in the Windsor and Saratoga has a 4.031" bore with the 3.750" stroke.  But the easiest way is by (according to the FSM)"the engine number stamped on a boss on the top side of the engine block just back of the water pump".  A 383 will have the sequence "PR-38-and the date built (ie. 8-4)"; a 413 will have the sequence "P -41-and the date built (once again ie. 8-4)".  Otherwise, for me, the two engines are tough to tell apart.
Hope this helps.

Well, I had the original engine rebuilt, I thought that it was also a 413  but  looking closer I was convinced that it is 383.  The original starter takes up so much space  . And it makes this engine deprived of the horsepower it should easily obtain, for the custom headers I'm going to have made for it. The has an extreme make over and it needs the Hi output smaller starter.

Also, starters for 1962 and up V8 engines will not fit pre-1962 engines.
Before 1962 Chrysler used Autolite direct-drive starters.  Starting in 1962,
Chrysler-built reduction gear starters were used.   The problem lies in the
ring gear - the number of teeth on the gear was changed along with the
starter.

1962-64 Dodge 880 and Chryslers with manual transmissions continued to use
direct-drive stafters as did Canadian-built 1962-66 slant six models
(Prestolite starter).

Hi Jim -
Are you sure about the 383?  As far as I know, unless your Imperial has had
a heart transplant, it should have a 413.
Just curious -
