Re: {Chrysler 300} Ram Intake Casting Numbers

[John Grady <jkg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Nick ,

I have an original paint red Sport Convert red interior white top  with 300J engine complete — best way to say it,J engine  exhaust and all , I think built as a tribute , rust free car I got it from a California estate sale . 

It even has AC w the rams . It had autopilot but those cables are  not connected now. Love 727 in that body one less hassle 

Rather nice car ; thinking of selling if anyone has a big interest . Doing this would set you back 60 + and even worse , two years , all in today . I think worth 50 ? 

“ Real” Difference between Sport and H is mostly the trunk letter as you know . . 

But it does all fit ok .. fyi

Someone posted a question on Facebook about ram induction on the 300H, which I believe were only dealer-installed. Someone else replied that they had a set of ram intakes from one of them for sale. I asked for a casting number and they provided the one for the left side of 2129987.

When I search for this number online, it comes up as J/K ram intake.

The club tech page about rams doesn't list full casting numbers.

Is there a definitive list of casting numbers?

In an article on my own web site contributed by Wayne Graefen, he states that the '60-61 intakes are different from later ones but also includes the casting number mentioned previously.

I know that the '60-61 exhaust headers are different from the J/K ones. But what would a 300H have used?

Since it is commonly reported that the ram parts for a 300H were included in the trunk, I doubt they put a whole new exhaust system in there. That would be required to work with the cast headers and provide the full 405 horsepower rating. There are other things that make this "parts in the trunk" concept unlikely. What about the other mods to the engine? Camshaft? Valvetrain? Compression ratio? Any mods to the transmission?

There was a 300H sold at auction that claimed to have the dealer-installed ram system, but only one picture and no VIN is shown.

Thanks for any feedback.
