Quote: Taking that Challenger from a drag racer to a true Road and Track car is a possibility.
Problems with that are:
440 block has 1/2 filled block. not sure how well this will cool in a road and track situation time will tell.
The rear is a Dana 60 heavy
And everything else about this car is heavy except for the slant six torsion bars.
So it's heavy where it needs to be skinny and its skinny where it needs to be heavy like in the front runners and the torsion bar diameter.
I plan on running a Dana in my Charger, the durability is worth it to me, I figure it's not THAT much heavier than an 8.75 (40lbs ish I think), it's really low placed weight and it balances out the weight of the big block in front. But I could be completely wrong
By the time I do what I did with my Challenger, forged axles, tru-trac, ect... to the 8.75 in the Charger I won't be that far off from a new s-60 and have a stronger rear for it.
I wonder if there is any other reason besides weight not to run a Dana vs. 8.75 in a pro-touring setup.
