Thanks Don,
My retired NJ State Trooper cousin called his older retired trooper friend.
1963 Chryslers patrolled the Atlantic City expressway and had speedometers that went to 140 and cars would run past the mark no dual carbs let alone cross rams.
The special Egg Harbor Chrysler cross ram police car caught a brand new 1960 Corvette that was trying to outrun him without breaking a sweat.

From the book "Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler Police Cars 1956 - 1978", In 1960 Dodge did have the 361 Ram inducted engine on the Dart model. The Polara got the bigger 383 Ram engine. The 383 was also optional on the Dart. No reference to a Ram engine on the Plymouth. It's biggest engine was the 361 Golden Commando 395.
In 61 Dodge still had the 383 Ram engine. The Plymouth got the 383, but no Rams. The Chrysler Enforcer was available only with the 383 4 barrel.
In 62 the Chrysler Enforcer had the biggest engine, the 383 4 barrel. Smaller squads and engines.
In 63 Dodge got a hopped up 413 rated at 360 HP. Plymouth had to stay with the 383. The Enforcer was apparently dropped.
Tons of information in this book. A must have for Police car fans.

Does Urban Legend preclude Dodge?
in 1960, Dodge had moved its police option to the newly introduced 118"-wheelbase Dart, trying to steal sales from Plymouth, which outsold it 4:1 in squads. Dodge loaded it up with every single engine it had, up to and including the wild dual-four-barreled Ram Induction option. The 122-inch wheelbase Dodge was only sold as a "special purchase," with a minimum order.https://www.allpar.com/threads/chrysler-enforcer-police-cars.229144/

You can reference this Allpar article about the history of Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge Police Cars.
It references a 1960 Plymouth Police Car being available with a “Pursuit Golden Commando 395 engine” a 361 cu in ram manifold with twin four-barrel carbs.

My archives inform me that Ram induction was not offered on Chrysler's Enforcer package, but it was available on Dodge police packages for 60 and 61.
Chrysler was likely concerned about fuel economy in marketing a Chrysler for police use.
