Why Mopar Big Block Engines Are Too Heavy Yet Too Fast

Video Description

Why did Chrysler engineers choose to make their engines heavier when everyone else was going lightweight? In this video, we explore the fascinating paradox of Mopar's legendary big block engines - massive iron powerplants that weighed over 700 pounds yet dominated drag strips throughout the muscle car era. Discover how Chrysler's counterintuitive philosophy of building heavier, stronger engines created virtually indestructible motors that produced instant, tire-shredding torque. From the 440 Six Pack to the mighty 426 Hemi, learn why these overweight giants became the most feared engines in drag racing history and why sometimes, heavier really is better. #musclecar #dragracing #automotive #classiccar #engineering
