Re: {Chrysler 300} FW: Chrysler 300 1964

The 400 HP F's used water heated rams. The headers did not have provisions for exhaust heat. 62 is a shorter wheelbase than 60-61, and the reduction is in the front. That may have something to do with TTI header fit.

Hi Rich .

I have a 62 with 405 clone , the mc is the same setup as an F . It also has air , guy before me was ambitious .He did a better job than factory .

I also looked carefully at “ Big Red” at the Pa meet ; 62 405 with manual brakes and also water heated carbs . More of a race car setup but I liked it . Frees up exhaust options and no struggles with exhaust heat problems .

FYI manual brakes with correct manual pedal ratio setup from a dodge ( fits) and stock 12 “ drums is not too bad . Good even .

However even correctly done manual brakes and any disc conversion are a horror show imho . Very hard pedal , and it travels a few inches first due to very high brake fluid requirement ( cc) of the large disc puck cylinders compared to drum cylinder piston surface area . No amount of bleeding etc fixes that . Been there . Lesson learned . That car ended up with larger bore corvette master ( big but fits with redrilling , with no boost , non ram ) to reduce travel , but that makes pedal even harder .

Lesson learned …

Back to first question , I think 60-62 exactly the same engine bay ? Right ?

I ask , as often headers ( like TTI ) are listed 62 up , why not 60 ? Something else hits?

Anyone know?

What was on 400 hp F for carb heat and brake mc ?

Noel & All:

I recall the meet, the car, the young woman owner and her father who had helped prepare the car—all from TX. I think the car was concours judged.

Amazingly, their original FirePower 360 engine had been equipped with short rams. The outlet piping of the original boosted master cylinder had been re-routed downward and the horizontal outlet plugged. This left about 3/8” clearance between the LH ram assembly and the MC plug. I have a picture of same “somewhere”.

So, this brings up a question I have on a ’62 300 with a long(?) ram optional engine—if ever one existed. Did they use the remote MC then as was later used on J’s & K’s? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hi

One of my friends has bought the car on the photos below. Somebody has told him that it is a 300 Silver Special. The paint code is 229. Can anyone confirm if it is a Silver Special or tell me what else it can be?

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Allan

Mvh.
