Wayne can chime in here, but he PM'ed me to say that the NY'er did have
a two 4-bbl "Power Package" option, but, that engine wasn't coded/spec'ed as a 300. The 57 300's had two 325 HP versions (which were single 4-bbl's, apparently built to NY'er specs). Those two engines were either A/C equipment attached (and silver-painted, along with the engine block), or non A/C equipped. Wayne also mentioned having seen, back in the 'day', a cross-rammed '61 NY'er, which he belives was the '61 version of the dual cqarb "Power Package".

When I found my 57 NY'er 2HT, it was wearing dual quads riding a 56 manifold. I have no clue if this came on the car - I doubt it - but that is how I found it. I still have the ID tags if someone wants to "decode" it.
My 61 NY'er 2HT came with a complete crossram set up in the trunk. The family told me that "Dad" had taken the rams off during the oil embargo and put on a single four. With the help of some 300 guys, I was able to put the system back on the car and ran it that way for a number of years. This car went to a 300 guy who wanted it for the restoration of a 300. He traded me the 60 Fireflite crossram stick car I had (along with some others) for it. He moved to Texas after the trade and I lost track of the car.
