Yes, it did have the ram manifold. Here's a little Mopar trivia for you. The little slant six of that era could be hot rodded like crazy from the Chrysler parts bin with such parts as cams, special pistons, and ram manifolds that would take either a 4bbl or multiple single or 2-bbl crabs. Some of the parts were "hidden" in the Chrysler Marine catalog, others were produced and were much more visible under the Hyper-Pak accessory range. The very early Dodge Lancer and Plymouth Valiant (1961 or so), due to their light weight, were quite potent machines in their day, and I had the good fortune to watch a highly modified "stock" Lancer (all parts were regular Mopar production items) walk all over a few of Europes finest sports cars at a road race in Sebring one year ;-)).
I had a slightly modified 1963 Dodge Dart that I ran in H/SA class at the drags.

Those cars had the ram manifold and 12.5:1 compression. Although they were rated at 425 horsepower to keep the government at bay and the sanctioning bodies in the dark, they actually put out around 600 horsepower. A real numbers matching copy is worth at least 150K today.
