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.  Lotsa cheap fun ;-))

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.
