RE: Fw: LONG RAM MANIFOLDS

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

As far as drag racing goes, I'm sure nobody used the long ram. They were 
for top end like Bonneville. Norm Thatcher used them I believe on many 
early 60's Mopars and set quite a few records. The old Hot Rod magazine 
special, '60 Plymouth?, used them too I believe. The short ram was the 
right stuff for dragging. I was talking to an old Timer who said he was 
a factory racer in the day and he made his own manifold at the perfect 
length, 19" or 20"?, runners. Then he said they built them that way 
after his. I was talking to this guy here in Omaha at a car show about 3 
years ago. Take it for what it's worth.?
