Weight Management is far more than just dropping weight off a car (or truck) to get the results you are looking for. As you see in this video, it's also in where that weight is put in that car. In this case it's in this 65 Dodge Dart GT with the 225 inline "Charger" Slant 6 (what is commonly called - the leaning tower of power).... and it all starts with where the engine is placed on the centerline of the front "axle" (or wheel hubs). Slight changes here add up to huge differences in how the vehicle not only handles but responds to the things you are trying to do with it.
So with all that, you are seeing step 1, in the planning phase of how I'm going to overcome the challenges presented to me in how to get this little 1965 Mopar Dodge Dart to get it to "hook and book" at the 2nd Annual #NoNameNationals this year in Sikeston MO.
Once again, I'm doing this video series "as seen through the eyes of someone that has little experience with Mopar" it is quite possible that Mopar uses their "Rube Goldberg" Engineering on that K-Member to distribute the front-end weight in a way I'm not seeing it. I'm not a mechanical engineer by any means, I'm just a guy that likes to play with Hot Rods & Rat Rods. So, what you are watching, is how my mind works when I look at things like this for the 1st time, and how I incorporate that into what I know, to get what I want at the end..... if that makes sense. Hope you enjoy and stay tuned for more to come on this little journey of mine through the oddities of classic Mopar.
