Wrong. The Long Ram will bolt up to their respective cylinder heads. This manifold design was available on the B engine- 361 and the RB engine being the 413. Both versions would bolt up to your standard 361/383/400 B engines and the 413/426Wedge/440 RB engines.

Now the true MAX WEDGE engines had the heads with the larger port openings, among other differences ( 4 bolt Valve Covers ) ect.... :thumbsup:

thanks for that info, was getting curious about that.

If I'm wrong I stand corrected,Was it the standard cross ram,that had the tall ports for the Max Wedge heads.It was years ago {like twenty}that I had the mis fit issue on those parts.Just trying to give a freindly warning.Ron

very nice can't wait to see the the intakes polished

The Max Wedge engines (1962,63,and 64) Stages 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 versions had the taller port openings than the standard wedge ports. Along with the taller ports they included a slightly larger valve dia. to take full advantage of the Cross Rams effective upper RPM band. The manifolds shown above are called Long Rams- not Cross Rams. You could use the Long Ram style on your standard Wedge Engine cylinder head- example- #-906 heads, 452 heads, even the Edelbrock Aluminum Wedge cylinder heads,ect.

The Long Ram engine package was more of a low rpm version, or for better description- street version.



I too have a set of these Long Rams and have toyed with making a simillar style set up to utilize 2 turbos and injection.:cheers:

I hope this clears things up.:cheers:

Your right,it was this cross ram i was thinking of.Ron

did some more work on the console last night, its coming out good. And after 2 years of primor finally started painting, did all the jams and engine bay, the rest is getting painted tomorrow. Im very happy with how its coming out.

That really turned out great,can't wait to see it put back together.That color really pops.The engine bay shot kind of looks like a bowl of lime Jello,really wild,they're making some intense colors these days.Should look wild with the engine back in place.Ron http://mysite.verizon.net/ls6ron/

That color rocks! I'm a sucker for green cars!

Your ride is turning out really awesome... are you going to finish polishing the intake(s)... or perhaps paint them the same green color?

they're going to be polished

put the front end on just to get the look, we have to paint black behind the grill, cause it just doesnt look good like this

www.hoodpins.net

ya, guess you gotta work with what you got
my friend let me borrow his tires and rims just to see if they'd fit, it was a long shot but they actually fit dam good, its a 10" tire which i didnt even think was going to fit but they do, The offset is almost perfect, its gonna need to go out about a 1/4" more when i get the rimss just so it clears the leaf springs a little more.

dash is all done and wired, made the wiring pannel, tail lights wired, headlights wired, tan the battery cable froms the trunk, painted the front black that shows through from the grill and started cleaning under the front end.Under the dash is white because when working on it, it lightens it up a lot better than doing it all black.

Awesome build! :hail:

Love what you did with the dash. I'm going to be doing something similar with my 71 Dart except i'm not sure if I will make the cluster blend with the rest of the dash like yours or have it so I can pull the whole cluster out.

Have any tips on building a new cluster?

Really nice work Joe440! What is the name of the colour? I think it looks like the colour I have! It isn't Nissan Apple Pearl Green by any chanse?

I would suggest flat facing it how i did mine, then you really can do what ever you want from there, one way is to just cut out the shape you want for your cluster after flattening it, then make your cluster and have it be able to bolt right into the dash

[QUOTE=jvike;187263]Really nice work Joe440! What is the name of the colour? I think it looks like the colour I have! It isn't Nissan Apple Pearl Green by any chanse?

They do look very similar, but no. This is actually sherwin williams paint theres not a name for it but it came out of their "hot rod colors" booklet. We call it snake skin green:D , Nice cuda by the way!

Thanks Joe, to me it seems like the colour respond to light and clouds the same way as my colour.

Keep 'em comming!

ya i can tell they do, when the sun hits it, its a hole nother color
