I have a long tube cross ram I wondered if anyone could help me out with the year and application it was for? Thanks

They were used from 1959-64 on the 383, 413, engines in the Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, line of cars.
Pretty common back in the day, but not any more, in this day and age.
So just take your pick, on year application.
 
The number you have was used on 1960 and 1961 only.
All 413 Chrysler 300's and then optional on Dodge and Plymouth 361 and 383's.

They were never used on a 1959

1963-1964 used "short rams" the divider was short and a different casting number.
They were used on all 1963 Chrysler 300J, and optional on 1964 300K

Short rams were optional on 1960, 1961, 1962 high horsepower optional engines.

Very interesting...thank you for sharing!
 
Casting # 1947162, Part #2240394: 1961 C Body 383 + 413 2-4BBL Left
Casting # 1947163, Part #2240395: 1961 C Body 383 + 413 2-4BBL Right
 
Definitely has some cool factor

I see various sets of these long rams at swap meets. Seems to be a lot of them still around. Some of the
Small parts are hard to find. Not sure how much of it is reproduced these days.

A poor guy north of me has several sets but not having much luck on selling them.
 
They only comfortably fit on C-bodies. They can be made to work on B-bodies with some butchering of the passenger side inner fender panel. They were designed more for torque than horsepower.

I'm trying to figure out the basis for those sliced long rams in the last pictures in your link, which was very interesting btw, thanks.
A project on the shelf for me is to convert/improve a long ram to a short/long ram version, and add EFI. I'm trying to design an idle air valve in into the center equalizer tube, to keep things simple. I also toyed with adding port injectors underneath to keep them out of sight and IMO improve injector angle as to wet the intakes roof rather than the floor, but I can't find the room in the lifter valley if I stick to shared injector fuel manifolding.
That all being said, I fully accept the motor will be a top end dog, and most I can ever hope for is a torque monster.
I drove a 300F in HS in the 60's.
