Subject: Re: weight
I got a kick out of the chart. The Chrysler 413 weighs 640 and the Mopar
413 weighs 670. I understand of course, different sources. The 670 figure
is the one I grew up with. I have a feeling the 670 figure includes
alternator, carburetor and such.

Subject: [Chrysler300] weight
Question : I have to ship, via truck, a 413 motor. - stripped of all
accessories, pretty much a long block with heads . No intake, exhaust or
trimmings. The trucking company is asking for the weight. Anybody have
any idea of a good approximation? After wrestling with it this afternoon,
I
can only attest to the fact that it is HEAVY.
Thanks in advance,

Subject: Re: 300B verses 57 Chev
All:
Guy is absolutely correct about the 1957 345/345 DeSoto. I never quite
understood why Chrysler didn't make a bigger thing of it since they
created a
"special" engine displacement in the process. I believe there were 1950
DeSoto
Adventurers made in 1957. Wonder if the production of this standard
equipment 1
HP/Cu. In. engine might not have exceeded that of the Chevy 283/283???
Probably not, but is nice to think about.
Relative to the 354/355 300B optional engine: That information was
entered
into the AMA (Automobile Manufacturers Association) specifications on
April 16,
1956. The official letter to the dealers announcing the availability of
the
higher compression head bringing the HP to 355 was dated June 13, 1956.
This
certainly suggests the 355 unit was not available in February for Daytona,
and, as Jim Faber points out, Chrysler stated it was a 340 HP 300B that
set the
records. These Daytona cars probably would have had the 3" exhaust and
9.5"
wheels, though, as they were in the AMA specs as of 12-5-55.
The 300B may not be particularly sleek by todays standards, but was
certainly
more aerodynamic than the 300C which could not match its record the
following
year on the sand. As most of you probably know, the 300B record was not
bested until the 400HP (production??!) 300F in 1960. Fun stuff, eh?

Subject: Thank you all!!!
Dear 300 friends,
Thank you all for your help. I have got a lot of e-mails from members
offering their help to go check a car for me. The deal was done quite
quick
and there was no time to have someone check the car. Thank you anyway. I
was not able to buy the car, but the good thing is that my best friend
bought it ( a C300). He has found out what a fantastic club this is and is
now one of the new members. I also got your experiences with "Classic
Exhaust" and a system is ordered.
Many thanks from
Matts Wignell

Subject: 65L QUARTER PANEL EMBLEMS
Hi,
The Chrysler 300 rear quarter emblems on my "L" are faded to the point
that there is no color and I'd like to repaint them. Could someone on the
list send me a digital photo of an emblem that shows the colors and how
the numbers (300) are painted? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
George

Any body heard any scuttlebutt on repro gas tanks for 57-59 Chryslers?
By the way, I have the new club 1/4s installed on our Green C. Just
roughed in for now but will be primed and ready for paint soon. Well worth
waiting for!!

Subject: 63 300J for parts, 64 parts also
Greetings Group and Happy Holidays!
Now that our move is done and we are settled in, I have found that I
have a number of J&K parts that I don't need or want. I still have the J
to finish parting out, all the 3" brakes are there, the rear axle w/ 3.23
sure grip, a nice console(no tach), floor heel trim for the driver side,
very nice J emblems,inner fenders for a J or K ram, no rust or damage w/
the access plates, much more. For the 64 I have a very nice grille insert,
pit free chrome. NUMEROUS odds and ends for both cars, and some station
wagon parts as well. These parts need to go to someone who needs them and
I am out of space to store this stuff!! If I can't get any one in the
club to buy some of this then it will go on ebay or to the yard for stock,
so to speak. Email me direct with your needs. Shipping anywhere at your
expense, or come up and pick it up.....It was only 5 below this morning,
Zero that is.....
Joe Pierce 300J+K+M+others....
