Re: IML: 62 Cross ram imperial information

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

There were no cross rams on Imperials.  Even though this is non stock "upgrade"
(the engine is probably from a 300H if its a 413), this is a nice engine
package, even though somewhat tougher to tune.  Is this the long ram or short
ram?  Its most likely the long ram (manifold tuned for lower rpm's) as its the
most common.  I am not sure how you can tell as the intake manifolds are
similar on the outside, its just the internal plumbing a bit defferent.  I am
sure the part number on the manifold will tell.

I hope the car has dual exhaust.  62 I think was the first year with single
exhaust standard (and may be the only factory option), but the cross ram
definately needs more exhaust.  If it does not hae dual exhaust, this is no
reason to turn down the car, as a dual exhaust is not that difficult.
