Re: Putting Rams on a 300L Rag Top



Definitely short rams with stampings showing '62-'63 max wedge application. I can tell they're short rams based on where the divider ends. Will take a bunch of pics when back in NJ. Thanks Dodger!

There were two versions of the long rams, and although t he same length the short ones had dividers in the plenum and kept the distance of a common plenum closer to the  combustion area, and to the best of my knowledge the long rams were never used on the max wedge engines, and were only installed on the full size vehicles later to be called C-bodies

Sound advice, Dodger. Currently on the road but will grab both pics as well as stampings as soon as I get back to the rams.

Eagerly looking to pick the group's brain on how to best proceed.

Stay tuned all!...

Hi Gary,
Happy New Year! Just before the holidays I was able to procure a set of short rams with the carbs and linkages. Stampings show that it was originally used/intended for a '62-'63 Max Wedge car.

I've heard from the 300 Club that rams were offered by a few dealers on the 300L. Some buyers wanted a faster car, dealers had left over inventory, viola!

Who in the '62-'65 Mopar would be knowledgeable about installing this onto my 300L's 413ci wedge? While we should be okay on clearance, I suspect there might be some necessary tweaks to keep the fuel from burning too rich, etc. Curious about what other "watch outs" we should be looking for and any tips members can offer.

Or should I just do a general posting to the group?

Either way, will certainly be getting pics of the car off to you once the salt's off the road for the Mopar of the Month. Can't wait!!

Warmest regards,

David M.
