Fwd: IML: Imperial Cross Ram



Hello All,
 Just a quick note regarding adopting Ram Induction to an Imperial 413.  As I remember - the 300F engine was a lot more than just the"cross ram" intake manifold. It also include a "hotter camshaft" ( my guess is a 276 degree duration )  solid lifters as well as internal modifications. Additionally, I am guessing a dual breaker point distributor was also included. My point is simple. This was designed as a package rather than an add on. I don't know for a fact - but I am assuming that dual 4's would "overcarb" the engine. Without the other mods -  it is doubtful that you could actually realize a true gain in horsepower. Also - the other contributors are absolutely correct - in that a multiple carb engine is difficult to tune.  Thoughts?

If you want to install it, go ahead, but be prepared to see a big drop in your fuel economy. I knew the owner of a 1960 300 F. It took premium fuel and got 9 mpg on the freeway.

Jeff Carter has '61 Convertible with that set up, and I think he can supply the parts, some have been reproduced by him also. I think its big bucks to purchase and not easy to keep in tune.

Hi gang -
Does anyone know if there were any Imperials equipted with the cross ram manifolds found on the letter series Chrysler 300s?  I remember building a few AMT models in the '60s that had that and I was wondering if there was any basis for that in fact.  Given the almost Packard like devotion to customer whims in the early '60s I was just wondering.
