[Chrysler300] A few questions.....

Hello all, I hope everyone is staying healthy.....

I have a few questions for the group in helping me out with my '61 Plymouth long ram swap (using the early 60-61 "long rams" on a 413)....

1. I plan to use a later aluminum case 727 (1965 unit... slip yolk and push button compatible) I was wondering if anyone had a dipstick for a 300J or 300K for sale. I believe this would be the only trans dipstick that would work with my combo. I think the earlier cast iron transmissions use a different style dipstick, as it installs into the trans in a different location.

2. Are the oil dipsticks unique to the ram cars? If so, I would be looking for one of those also.

3. I have the correct inner fenders for a ram car with the "cutouts". Has anyone installed the inner fenders without completely dissembling the front sheet metal? I would like to be able to just install the inner fender panels without tearing everything apart. I still need to see if they are for a long wheelbase, or short. If for a long wheelbase, I'll probably be stuck with modifying my existing inner fender panels.

4. Would I run into problems using my '61 trans mount for the later aluminum 727? What would I need to make this work?

5. I bought the correct cross ram throttle linkage firewall "bell crank" from JC Auto a while back. I am now seeing that there is a little bracket that bolts to the trans bell housing to support it. It looks like it has some sort of nylon bushing in it for the end of the throttle linkage/pivot. Does anyone have one of these available? ... I guess I could call the folks at JC Auto too...... but figured Id ask here.

6. Does anyone make a reusable/washable air filter like the K&N for the ram air cleaners? Ive tried to look them up on the K&N site, using the cross reference info on the 300 page, but came up with nothing. I'm not sure if there is another alternative to the K&N..

Thanks everyone for all the help! Hopefully this mess will be over soon.
