HMMM, if you're handy in the garage pick up an old carb'ed v8 truck. Many of you may remember The DEATHSTAR. I picked it up for $200. Always needed work, but always worked when I needed it. It had a 72 318 in it that was just beat down but it pulled several 2 TON cars on several occasions with out much trouble. Also parts are easy to come by and cheap.
