Building up a Dart

I like big block darts too, but I've never seen one that can match a small block for handling or AutoX. They're nose heavy. With good T bars, the nose wont dive..but the car will slide sideways and really push the tires. Even with better tires, you cant fit much under the fenders. So any tall weight will hurt it. The weight's just in the wrong place. Add to that the cost of a new bellhousing and exhaust, it's just not the best idea IMO. Big block A bodies do drag racing best. Leave the stopping and turning to a small block.
