Default Chrysler gearboxes

Very interesting...and not surprising that a small carmaker might not use up its gearbox/engine stock for a year or 2, especially if it had to buy in batches. Or they might not have been first in Chryslers queue - after all did I hear that Chrysler made 20 million v8s?
The Heritage Trust has recently acquired copies of all the Advice sheets from late 60s onwards and it is evident that small volume sales meant that older parts - and even cars - would not be thrown away.
I've been really impressed with the Chrysler Master Technicians conference booklets , by the way- an educational programme to educate chrysler mechanics on troubleshooting for engine gearbox etc etc.
They made a series of these from postwar onwards for every model -easy to read and great flow diagrams for how to fix, tune, sort out stuff like carbs and gearbox work,.
The Heritage Trust has some in its archive but Id like to assemble a whole set for reference
Where can I find a simple list of engine/gearbox types with dates?
I will then try to buy those handbooks we lack.
