    I don't think that's a Cross Ram set up.
    Here's a street production Sonoramic Commando Cross Ram on a '61 Plymouth Savoy 413 with two Carter AFB four barrels:

    I've seen a couple of these at the Chrysler Nationals.
    Here's a schematic:

    the concept mustang, would have been a good and interesting car, a rear engine two seater with the side scoops actual air intakes, which of course, never reached production.
    (the mustang that actually was produced bore no more then a cosmetic relation to it)
    camaro, unfortunately was a rediculously heavy piece of tin, with a big engine, big deal, just another excessively large and heavy mundane super market special that needed all the extra power just to haul its excessive mass around. never could see anything impressive or even interesting about either of them.

    why would i ever have wanted to? i've owned chevy pickups and vans, even a couple of fords.
    no offence but i just don't see the point. if it needs pavement to drive on, how is that any better then a train needing tracks?
    and if it can't haul a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood, or a pile of 2x4s, or have room in the back to throw in a bed and a bunch of camping geer,
    how is being able to exceed the speed limit supposed to be any better then walking or taking the bus?

    actually come to think of it, that did have those big chunks of tin for driver's ed in high school, so technically i may have driven something of the sort,
    but i can't even imagine what i would want with owning one, or indenturing myself to the bank to be able to drive around in one and pretend i was owning it.

    i did have friends who were into those kinds of things. for me, it was design elements of body style that were of interest to me for a few years at that age.
    yah i knew someone who had the moustang, drove it off the road trying to see how fast he could make it go. twisted the frame all to hell and gone as soon as it hit the ditch.

    yes i knew other people who killed or injured themselves, trying to prove what? i grew up in mountains with twisting roads so unless you've got a road like the bonnivlle salt flats,
    that feeling for speed is, well i don't see the point of it. i know i know i've felt it, but that kind of expensive fun, when you can get so much more for less,
    and tons less hassle.

    Relax….I was interested in your opinion about the vehicles, as you appeared to have a working knowledge, clearly you do not.
