I'm . We all know weird stuff happened and I'm not doubting the very early
production car aspect.
I merely tried to point out that what he is selling is not for 61's or 62's
is all as there were different.
The G manifold carries a different part # than the F manifold.

I just wanted to add that I have a photo here that I took of one of these
manifolds, and I was able to have a good look at the manifold while I still
had it. I suppose it could have been cut off with a chop saw, but it just
didn't look that way to me. I didn't notice any tell tale cut marks like
you would expect to see that a cut off wheel would leave. Having written
that, the thing is about 50 years old, and high exhaust temps and rusting
could have eliminated the saw cut marks I suppose.

Dave,
The early Gs right side exhaust manifold does look like it was an F manifold
cut off in the front, however, it wasn't the actual manifold that was
chopped off, it was the mold. Evidently the modified mold was used as a
quick way to eliminate the generator mount, until a new casting was made for
the later production Gs.
Could you provide an item # for the eBay auction? I couldn't find it.

These notes from a guy on e-bay hawking a pair of 300 F exhaust manifolds
I sent him an e-mail
I may be "all wet" here. Someone back me up!!
If not, I, and 300 history as I have heard, stand corrected!!

FYI
1960 only. Bracket on right manifold is for generator. Last year used .
61 used alternator. Takes different manifold for right side. 62 did not have
rams as factory install.
His reply:
Wrong...I have a 61 ram induction engine with alternator and all the factory
did was cut that part for the generator off with a chop saw to make room for
the alternator. Bought car new so was not a jury rig. Know your facts before
talking. This can be done in 10 min if needed for 61 or 62.

My reply:
I think if you check the casting # on your G manifold on your car it will be
2205-853
My F manifold part #s are 1947490 rt and 1947434 left
Should be the same as the ones you have for sale.
2 different castings altogether
Someone taking a chop saw to a pile of 1600 or so manifolds???
I kinda doubt that
I'll check out that site!
I'm sure it will have lots of great info.
Yes it was the factory. If you do a little research you will find out that
Chrysler overproduced the long ram manifold setups and the demand didn't
turn out as expected. They wound up trying to get rid of them without
producing more. Thus as not originally planned it was offered as a limited
option thru Oct '62 in convertible 300's and a few other models. My
manifolds came from the factory as I purchased the car new thru chry
dealership. Did you buy yours new? They were probably using up left over '60
manifolds as don't think they were going to throw them in garbage. Do your
homework. I know more than you give me credit for. In '62 they also offered
water cooled or should say heated ram manifolds instead of exhaust heated
ones. My 1st car was a 1951 Dodge Coronet and now own 12 Chrysler, Dodge,
DeSoto and Plymouth cars from 1957 thru 1987. Most of which I drive on a
regular basis. Been around and working on them for 60+ years. Tend to learn
a few things in that time!!!!
PS ram induction was offered as a very limited option thru 1964 on
convertibles...look that one up!!!!
Amazing what you can "learn" on the net, huh???
This begs the question "if so, than why would they need those funky heat
riser valve and pipe outlets on cars that used headers.
