One day this crate arrived.
This is a 1964 Chrysler 300 K ram engine stamped C 300 K 2/21/64
|
This engine has been
rebuilt and been on the dyno. The plan is to transplant this engine into the J
while the J engine is out for rebuild.
|
|
While winter raged outdoors, I got out a spare set of short rams
and prepared them for paint.
|
After a thorough clean with a wire brush.
|
Using the Bill Hirsch engine paint.
|
|
Finished.
|
On another set of short rams, a previous owner repaired
a weak thread on the heat tube area of one ram with a helicoil. This
repair worked well on this piece.
|
They tried a helicoil on this ram but the casting was so thin the coil
wouldn't hold. We installed a threaded bushing to solve the problem.
|
Test fit with a pipe and we had a solid connection.
I suppose if a fella ran without carb heat
he
wouldn't have to worry about this.
