All is now well. The listing has been changed. Was described as a cross ram, factory floor shift, 331 cubic inch. She sent me an email in response to mine to her. We are now friends. I believe that she is now a 300 convert.

None had floor shifts, the engine size was 354 cubic inch, and the cross ram never happened until the 300 F in 1960. The 300 B had a 354 cubic inch hemi,solid lifter cam, dual 4 barrel carbs, 355 horsepower with optional engine, would run 140 mph, dominated Grand National and Daytona racing in 55 and 56, and a 2 speed or 3 speed push button transmission. A very few had Dodge truck 3 speed manuals on column shift. > > I have probably the best one in captivity and believe them to be among the finest examples of American Autos of the fifties.
