Big Blocks and Handling

Great thread.....I find this stuff interesting! I would say that the Dana rear end isn't gonna help anything since it's unsprung weight, but the relocated battery is an easy "gimme" in the weights and balances dep't, as well as all the aluminum components that were mentioned. I just removed a factory A/C setup from a '67 Barracuda yesterday......my gawd, just that compressor and bracketry is insanely heavy. I'm betting a SB with factory A/C is about as heavy as a BB without it......(and maybe an aluminum intake and aluminum water pump/front cover) It's gotta be close!!!
