Ram Horns manifold for Ram Jet 350?

[Poser]

So to make this fit the Ram Jet, you need to remove the generator mount/extension from the front of the manifold. This will be true with the left side as well.


A band saw makes pretty quick work of this. ( Thank you Richard )

Here is the manifold mounted to the engine, sans gaskets, and it clears and fits fine.

Here is your parts book as well bud.

Nice! Thanks Steve. I'll look into the manifolds when I get home. I may have to just pony up and do 2.5". Stuck at work until Monday then heading to the mountains.

Sorry to hear about the weather, it's been 75 here...

And thanks for the parts book pic... now I know what I'm looking for. You're the man.

Glad you have had nice weather!


Hope the pics help bud. Sorry I was not quicker on this; been pretty silly around here, even when it is -25F.

Y'all helped me out too! You guys still drink "Leinnies" when its that cold?

 

[oldcarguy]

did you look at the Sanderson QP1000, cast ? They also tuck tight againest the block for added clearance

 

[Poser]

People from Sanderson swear up and down that theQP1000 will not work on the RamJet/Vortec head because of spark plug angles.

I have not purchased a set from them to see what they are talking about, however three different sales folks from Sanderson have told me this same thing.


I would love to get those QP1000; they are a top-notch product.

yup, sandersons are top notch. i used to drag race with one of their employees back in the late 80s. been to the shop a bunch of times. worth the price, that's for sure.

Sure do; just wish there was more time to enjoy one....or two.

I have a vortec heads and the 2 1/2 inch rams horn manifold. The do fit, at least for me. What I have found is that there is very little room between the manifold and the steering shaft and I constantly burn up plug wires. This is probably a problem with timing but I can''t find it.

Build setup

Close up now

Hmmmm... vintage Parts Book pics, Ram Jets and now a fridge full of beer... we're dangerously close to full porn here...

Also, I meant to reply that Poser is correct. GM performance no longer has the 2 1/2 inch manifolds. However GM restoration parts may. Their catalog shows 2 1/2RH at $215 and LH at around 260. I took the RH and chopped off the alt. bung like Poser did.
