Lightening Tricks For 68 HDT Dart

How about the engine, you can lose a lot of weight with aluminum heads, intake, and water pump. Mini starters are much lighter than the originals too. Exhaust can get heavy, especially if you use thick gauge tubing, welded mufflers, and tailpipes. The bumper brackets on 68 Darts are pretty healthy so switching to aluminum there would help a lot. Of course fiberglass fenders, bumpers, hood and deck lid would knock off many more pounds. Moving the battery to the trunk would not lose weight but redistribute it in a beneficial way.
