Which "book" are you using? You can also check the 1962 Chrysler Parts Manual to decode the VIN for your car, too.

361 4bbls were in Plymouths and Dodges of those model years, I suspect. Same intake manifold for the B-383s and the B-361s.

Not available. I was looking at buying one years ago and found out they don't have a 383-4bbl from the factory large fold out brochure.

To me, the best "book" would be the FSM, all things considered. Even there might be some errors in there, too. Even better if you can find the particular spec sheet document supplied to the A.M.A. (Automotive Manufacturer's Association) for each model grouping of each model year.

Not much. An Enforcer second digit is '9' in the VIN, which was used for for 1956-1965 police models.

CHP purchased over 1200 1962 Enforcers. Like some other arrangements, Chrysler worked with the CHP to meet their specific requirements.

The 361 two-barrel was standard in the 1962 Enforcer with the 383 four-barrel optional. The 383 four-barrel also had a higher performance camshaft. The three speed manual transmission was standard with a heavier duty 11" clutch for the 383, with Torqueflite optional. The 383 with automatic had a rear axle ratio of 3.23:1. The CHP highway cars were 383s.

Several other assorted heady duty parts for police duty such as suspension, brakes, and electrical systems like those used in other Mopar police vehicles were included.

I see a single 4 barrel intake listed for 62 in my Galen parts book. #2205968 There was also an inline dual quad 383 with 343 hp. . 61 had an inline dual quad intake and a cross ram as well but no single 4 barrel.
