Chrysler cross ram

[br67]

Hi does anyone offer a decent 1/25 scale early 60's Chrysler cross ram engine? Thx

[Longbox55]

I believe Modelhaus has one.

Yes they do as I received one from them last year.

[John Pol]

Ross Gibson also did one at one time

The old Johan Chrysler 300 kits from '63-'68 had the cross ram as a custom option.

They build up pretty nice with a little love.

Thanks guys

John, wanted a Ross Gibson but couldnt find anyone with stock left after Ross's passing

Bill, have ordered one from Modelhaus

Very cool looking engine Steven

I just bought a Johan 68 300 kit that has this engine. I believe that will be the easiest way to find one kit wise.

I have the intake, carbs and I think just one air cleaner .

I would loan it to someone to make a copy ,,,but I want it back ( going in a Johan 1960 New Yorker builder I have )

There are going to be a lot of "unhappy campers" with a lot of things now that Modelhaus is gone.

Ross Gibson had a full 1961 383 with the ram intake, but he has since passed on.

I have no clue as to whether or not anyone has taken over for him.

You're only option at this point, may be to keep your eye on ebay for an old Johan kit with the manifolds & air cleaners included.

They were included as a "custom" option in all of the Chrysler 300 annuals from '62 all the way until '68.

I recently built another one in a '62 Chrysler.

That's about as nice a stock engine compartment as I've ever seen in a model of any kind.
