In this episode I find more oddities in this little 65 Dodge Dart with the 225 Slant 6 "Leaning Tower of Power". Just like in the other video on Engine Placement, I do my best in this one to show the consequences of misplacing an engine and transmission in a vehicle. Now in stock form, with the thick spongey OEM Rubber motor & transmission mounts, the things I talk about in here are not much of an issue. It's only when you start adding Torque & Horsepower to a vehicle that this rears its head with busted tail shafts, exploding transmission cases, and detonating u-joints.
The Key to it all is to eliminate as many opposing forces as you can.... by keeping all your angels in straight lines. Not only will it deliver more of your hard earned "power" to the ground (where it belongs) but it will keep those spendy parts from coming apart on you when it "dead hooks" on the starting line.
Hope that helps some of you out there, and with a little luck this little 1965 Dodge Dart will make it to the #nonamenationals this September with the rest of the Mopar crew. In it's own..... NoCar kind of way.
