If your '69 big block handles like a pig you built it wrong for handling. With modern tires and shocks, added sway bar and bigger torsion bars these cars can handle well with a big block. And, quite frankly, if you don't do the same thing with the slant, it will still handle like a pig...
Nah - Its about compared to what you compare it against. I was referring to like vehicles built to carve roads like M3 Bimmers or M5s I have owned and driven. Yeah I got double adjustable shocks, sway bars, bigger torsion bars, heavier springs four wheel disc and all that jazz - and yes the car does well for what it is but its still a pig. I love it which is why I keep dumping money in it and have owned it since I was 15.
The 69 does fine for what it is BUT reality is when you take a car like the 69 Dart and throw a big block in it and have to connect the unibody etc and start with a 57/33 weight distribution its will only handle so well. The car was manufactured crooked for chrissakes. Which is why in stock elimator and many types of racing enthusiasts correct the geometry of the drivetrain.
