Val:
You are correct that the 1962 Chrysler 300?s came standard with the dual
inline 4 barrels. But you must learn to NEVER say NEVER when it comes to
MOPAR. Back then you could order most anything that you wanted from MOPAR
and if it was on the shelf, fitted the application and was appropriate, you
could get it.
Now I do not consider myself an expert on this subject, but I do know that
the Short Rams were optional on the 1962 Chrysler 300?s. I am guessing that
they used a manual brake master cylinder in order to clear the CrossRam carb
on the drivers? side.
I have just installed a set of Short Rams and Exhaust headers from a ?J? on
my ?62 Chrysler 300 ?Sport? ragtop.
Somewhere I have an issue of Hot Rod magazine that shows a ?62 Chrysler 300
that Hot Rod campaigned at the ¼ mile drags in 1962 in one of the ?stock?
classes. It clearly shows the Short Rams as well as a heater delete plate
on the firewall.

The 62 300 never had the 30 inch rams. They only had an "offset" manifold
mounting the 2-4 barrel carburetors between the valve covers. I have only
seen a picture and even more strange, I was told by a reliable source the
manifold was somehow shipped in the trunk and installed by the dealer ? I
think the experts here will concur.
Thanks,

The only 405 hp 62 300H I have ever seen had light blue short rams, but I
don't know if that was correct, but I think it was.
The guy who owns it is pretty picky about his restorations.

Hello Bob! I can do some further clarification but not 'all the way'
clarification. The F and G (and you may already know but just in case) short
rams made 400 hp. with a DIFFERENT cam than the long rams. Believe they
were red. The optional H short ram had 405 hp. and believe they were also
red. The J and ram K were both 390 hp. Now those were light blue. Also to
anyone, if I'm incorrect, don't hesitate to let me know 'cause I can
overlook things! I'm not sure about the serial #s though, sorry. What's
interesting is that the appearance to all of these short rams, are virtually
identical to the long rams, except indentation along the tops of the short
rams, stop at the 'summit' versus travelling the whole way to carbs on the
longs. Hope I helped! 300ly, Brandt J.......300G.

According to our own website's "All About Rams" article in the Tech section,
the short rams were available on the F, G, H, J, and K. There is no
difference indicated between the rams offered for those years. Could those
in the know explain what differences existed between the early short ram and
the later short ram? Are the casting numbers different? How about the
appearance?
