RE: [Chrysler300] Mystery Part? X3

["C Bilter" <cbilter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don and others,

 

The excellent article about exhaust systems by Dale Burkhardt appeared in
Vol. X Number II & III of the Club News (Winter 1984 and Spring 1984).  The
article included numerous illustrations as well, including the F special
headers, which are different than the J/K as Don noted.  The F special
headers are also noted to be the same as the rare dealer or field installed
62 super stock packages.

NO, NO, NO.
F special exhaust headers did not have provisions for exhaust heat from the
headers. They used hot water to heat the area under the carbs. I have
pictures to support this. 
Gil, do you remember which old club news had the article about exhaust
manifolds? I know I have it, but don't remember what issue. I think there
were pictures there too.

Hi To All,

It has been suggested that the Mystery Parts May Be:

Headers from a 1960 Chrysler 300-F Special 400 HP 4-speed?
They had headers, a larger exhaust and low resistance mufflers.

Anyone have any thoughts to substantiate this (for or against)?

Hi Again,

For the benefit of those that think the blue header mystery part is the same
as the tan J/K header, I have traced the runners of the blue part and
superimposed them on the tan J/K header. Even though the perspective is
different on both parts, it is clear that the curvatures of the runners on
the blue header is different especially the #1 cylinder (leftmost runner).

What vehicle, engine and year(s) were these BLUE headers from???

Click on thumbnail to enlarge. If you wish, you can download the
photo by clicking on the download icon.

The picture was taken at a Mopar Nationals swap meet in 2008.

There are 2 sets of long rams and a set of exhaust headers painted BLUE. I
superimposed one side of a set of J/K headers with a tan color to compare to
the mystery BLUE set of headers. The curvatures do not match.

What vehicle, engine and year were these BLUE headers from???

Please Reply All with your answers. Enjoy.
