IML: maybe too much coffee this morning..

["mike and linda sutton" <mikanlin62@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hola..

Just looked at the very very kewl model that Chris Middlebrook built, and 
either the coffee was kicking in a bit hard or I dont know, but would a set 
of long rams actually physically fit in a 61-63 Imperial?  I always presumed 
there wasnt enough clearance to the inner fenders, since the sheetmetal 
comes inboard so much to create that extra wide fender horizontal surface. 
The implications are overwhelming,  I consider long rams one of the holy 
grails of Ma Mopars engineering, as well as the sheer eye appeal of what 
they are in an engine bay.

Obviously the auto pilot would be in the way but imho  a set of long rams is 
a bit kewler than an auto pilot, I could see the power brake booster being a 
problem but they do make remote boosters.  If this  meant not having a heat 
riser between the exhaust and intake manifolds ,  I could probably live with 
that since I dont drive a lot when its freezing or below.  Thats what block 
heaters are for anyway.

Well now in the meantime  I have to find another Imperial model to build and 
then a model of anything with some long rams, and get my modeling tools 
out..............
