Weight is surely a factor in racing against other inlines and flatheads, and that might be a disadvantage for the big Dodge. If you configured that project as a rear engine dragster, then torque and traction might offset the weight and even use it to advantage. At the end of the track, you want four-wheel brakes!
Surely, in this kind of racing, "they ain' no substitute for cubic inches."
God's Peace to you.
