Re[2]: {Chrysler 300} Ram Intake Casting Numbers



Exactly right, the 405hp H we saw at Hershey 2023 was "built" by someone and not a correct install - so maybe not original.  Jamie and I examined the car closely - has the exhaust heated rams - should be water heated.  We didn't tell the owner, a nice elderly fella who was under the impression it was a correct 405HP H.

Here's another picture from Noel showing the right side of the engine. It does have the 300J style header with heat pipes to the carb.

Someone posted a question on Facebook about ram induction on the 300H, which I believe were only dealer-installed. Someone else replied that they had a set of ram intakes from one of them for sale. I asked for a casting number and they provided the one for the left side of 2129987.

When I search for this number online, it comes up as J/K ram intake.

The club tech page about rams doesn't list full casting numbers.

Is there a definitive list of casting numbers?

In an article on my own web site contributed by Wayne Graefen, he states that the '60-61 intakes are different from later ones but also includes the casting number mentioned previously.

I know that the '60-61 exhaust headers are different from the J/K ones. But what would a 300H have used?

Since it is commonly reported that the ram parts for a 300H were included in the trunk, I doubt they put a whole new exhaust system in there. That would be required to work with the cast headers and provide the full 405 horsepower rating. There are other things that make this "parts in the trunk" concept unlikely. What about the other mods to the engine? Camshaft? Valvetrain? Compression ratio? Any mods to the transmission?

There was a 300H sold at auction that claimed to have the dealer-installed ram system, but only one picture and no VIN is shown.

Thanks for any feedback.

Nick
