Kool little setup, 325 hp & 569 lbs-ft at 3,000 rpm and 407 hp at 4,500 rpm with accessories, Be interesting if they did a 500+ version, if you could keep torque per cid the same a 512 would equal 374 hp & 655 lbs-ft @ 3,000 rpm :)

The 300 letter series Stick cars (1962 as I recall ) featured a "Mid Ram" similar
outside configuration but the separated internal passages were
about 1/2 the length (Similar to a max wedge short ram length). I would love
to see one of those tested. It really raised the power band of RPMS
way up.

Those are freaking awesome, & did what they were supposed to, tuned for passing on the road at kick-down RPM's. THAT's some passing torque right there...

The short long ram intakes were used on 63-4 letter cars. Standard in 63, optional in 64. Had 390 hp rating. Same intake also used in the 400-405 hp 60-62 optional motors. All of these were solid cam motors.

Hot Rod Magazine ran one at the 1962 Winternationals in super stock automatic class, was runner up to a 421 Pontiac. The Chrysler's best times were in the high 12s, was off a couple of tenths in the final race.
