Re: [Chrysler300] 300H models question?

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Val and All:
The ram option for the 300/300H was similar to the "F" and "G" 400HP  
engines.  That is, the carbs were outboard of the valve covers and the  inner ram 
passages were cut away for about half their length to give a higher  rpm torque 
peak.  The 300J and K ram are similar.  NOT the same as the  Plymouth and 
Dodge, where the ram manifold was one piece and the carbs were  inside---or mostly 
so---of the valve covers.
300ly, Gil

Wasn't  the "Ram Option" actually the 2 four barrels sitting at an offsett 
within the  valve covers ? I have always heard of this option but have never 
seen one.  Comments  ?

Christopher. ...I'll take a stab at a couple of  these questions. Please, 
anyone, correct me if I make a  mistake.

Standard motor in H was the 413 dual quad on inline manifold.  The crossram 
was an option that I think there were about 10 sold?
On the  outside, only the wheel covers and the letter H on the trunk were the 
 difference from the sport. 4 bucket seats were always a standard item with 
any  letter car, the H was no exception. I don't know about the performance, 
but I  heard that the crossram gave about 20 more horsepower? That's about all I 
can  answer.

Can anyone out there  give a quick rundown of what the 300 model range was in 
1962 - ie what were  standard motor specs, features of a 300H. There have 
been a couple of coupes  imported here recently,
1) so if they have 300H badges, (as factory), did  that mean they have a 413, 
and what was the go with ram manifolding and bucket  seats with console? - ie 
were ram setups and centre console standard on any  300H model, or were they 
by then options you must order on any 300H to get  them?
2) what was the weight, performance 0 to 60mph and top speed, and how  much 
gain was ram manifold setup over say single carb? Are they generally  faster, 
easier to drive, better to push hard for fun, than say 300F and  Gs?

showers continue 6 days out of 7 for last near 2 months looking  like good 
grain crop season if this continues but key major supply dams still  getting near 
total empty and nation's biggest river looking like may stop come  summer for 
first time in like '100s years' if no one big rain this  winter
