[yella71]

what?

I'll assume you are referring to the Dodge fresh air system. I think it would fit but might need some adjustments.

Ramcharger is a name of a group of engineers what are you try asking for ? AND OR SLANG FOR FAST AS HELL. and a trim level for dodge pick up trucks

We need a bit more info on what you are talking about.

I would guess there may be some dimensional differences between the air box and the throat of the carburetor/air cleaner assembly.

Late RamCharger hoods/systems (71) were used with 340's.

Seems like an expensive investment for a 318 if you are using original or repro parts.

My old Ramcharger had a 360.....

I've seen a Ramcharger pass over a boulder the size of a 318 so I'm sure it could.....

Do you have a 4 barrel on it?? Don't see why not, but you'd have to make a carb throat to base plate adapter if running a 2 barrel. Where are you in Ontario?

Measure inner fender to carb center distance on both sides and from the edge of the cowl to the carb center and I'll compare the carb position to a big block ramcharger set up.

Nigel doing it? Is the engine in place to get measurements?

Yes,

 

[dadsbee]

Maybe he has another B body on the go at the same time with a big block in it for a quick carb position comparison. If not, get him to measure it's position as I noted above. Tell him Wayne O'Shea is helping you out...

That's a nice one, I had a 78 ramcharger……….It broke down every day for a month until the 318 spun a rod bearing.

Yeah, funny thing, back in the day I had a friend with one like it so I searched the internet for a picture to post & this was the closest to what he had... But it's actually a model in a diorama....
