Ram Manifold Cast Heat Inlet Elbows
for 1960-1961 ram induction Chrysler product cars

Cast in ductile iron, a tougher alloy than the original cast iron Heavier mounting flanges to resist cracking and breakage Original appearance with improved durability Completely finished and ready to install $240/pair, plus $15 for U.S. shipping

The ram manifold cast heat inlet elbow is generally the most fragile part of the ram induction system. It directs exhaust heat into the pre-heat chamber under the carburetor, as well as helping to support the weight of both the carburetor and the intake manifold. This elbow is prone to cracking and breakage in the flange area.

This reproduction elbow, while giving the appearance of original, provides extra strength in the flange area, and is cast of an alloy superior to the original.

Cast in aluminum, as original Mounting holes predrilled Extra-long to allow for custom fit $120/pair, plus $12 for U.S. shipping

Heat riser block-off plates began life in the factory as part of the ram manifold casting. In order to install the manifolds on the engine, the block-off plates were band-sawed out of the ram manifold mounting flange. These cut out plates were then installed as separate parts. Unfortunately, this process was done by hand, so no two block-off plates are exactly alike. In fact, there can be variations of 3/8" or more between plates on the same car. Also, some ram manifolds had a recess spot-faced into the mounting hole area prior to sawing out the block-off plates. Some manifolds had two recesses, while others had none. These recesses varied in depth by over 1/4", as they were also machined by hand.

Therefore, these reproduction block-off plates are cast extra long so that they may be cut to the exact length and angle to match each particular ram manifold. If the manifold has a spot-faced recess, the block-off plate will need to be spot-faced to match.

Reproduction of the 300E and 300F wheelcover medallions. Painted red, white and blue with vacuum-metallized "300" numerals. Four medallions were used on the 300E, six on the 300F. $55 each plus $8 shipping.
