The weight difference is a non issue. Big block Stangs can be made to handle as well as a small block car.
If you can't tell the difference in the way the car handles with a big block vs a Windsor, you should get yourself a rocking chair and stay on the porch!
Actually it could be possible, IF you got an aluminum block, heads, water pump, and used headers instead of manifolds.
Granted if you drove on the street like you do on a track, you'll get arrested, so depending on how you use your car, it may not be a big deal.
oyu dont need to go to extremes to make a big block car handle as well as a small block car, just stiffer springs and a bigger sway bar, as better wheels and tires.
So looks like we will be needing two rocking chairs!
Seriously, a big block car can be made to handle just fine on the street by doing those simple mods, but there is simply no way you can make it handle as well as a small block car that weighs 150 to 200 lbs less, has a better weight distribution, and a lower CG.
I hope you guys know I'm just messin' with ya! You don't have to stay on the porch.

You've obviously never driven much have you ? Driver's skill has just as much to do with the end result than the car alone. Any EXPERIENCED driver KNOWS this is true. The total curb weight has little to do with it.
