The moniker "RAMCHARGER" that Dodge used for the Super Stock Max Wedge 413 and 426 was the combination of two words: RAM for the induction system, commonly called a Cross Ram Induction (each 4bbl feeds the opposite side of the engine) as shown below though it did originate on the 1960 D500 Ram induction using the 30" long runners on each side with the 4 bbl carbs literally at the fenders edge. The other term CHARGER is short for SUPERCHARGER which is what happens when using this type of setup. The fuel is literally "rammed" into the combustion chambers at a higher rate of volume than say twin 4 bbl carbs inline once the engine reaches the rpm point that the manifold has has been "tuned" for, in this case about 5800 RPM which was perfect for Drag Racing. This induction system worked so well that it topped the 1964, 1965 and 1968 Race HEMI |
Did you know . . .
The 1964 and 1965 editions of the 426 HEMI have a unique valve cover and gasket. These items are designed to fit the unique 1964 and 1965 cylinder heads and do not interchange with the far more prevalent 1966-up HEMI engines http://s23.postimg.cc/5fzj19x3f/image.jpg You ask why? The answer is ............. Power Steering. Engineers figured that many people would want it on their 426 Street Hemi. It was decided that it was cheaper to recast the drivers side head to indent it in the front to make room for the power steering pump then it was to redesign the pump itself. You can see the indent on this 1966 HEMI http://s2.postimg.cc/8k4onspqh/66_Coronet_Hemi7.jpg |

The 1964 and 1965 Race Hemi Dodges used a 90 lb truck battery mounted at the rear of the trunk to aid in acceleration. This differed from the regular 50 lb battery mounted over the right rear wheel on the 1962 and 1963 Max Wedge cars. |

The 1970 Chrysler 340 Trans Am engine block was drilled for 4 bolt mains, but it only came with 2 bolt mains. Those that raced in the the SCCA Trans Am changed the main caps when building their engines. Chrysler figured it wasn't necessary for street use. |

1967 was the last year you could order a Hemi and 14" chrome road wheels. Beginning in 1968 the Hemi came standard with 15" wheels so the option was no longer available. |

Instead of a winter wonderland, residents living along the shore of Lake Erie in New York woke up this weekend to a winter nightmare when they found their homes completely encased in thick ice. |

The 1967 and 1968 Shelby GT "Le Mans" Stripes (aka: Rally Stripes) were no longer an option from the factory. They were dealer applied and cost $34.95. |

From 1965 to 1970, there were 13,912 Shelby Mustangs (all models) sold. Not a lot when you think about it - 7 model years. 1968 was the high water mark with 4,451 sold |
