@milehigh- that's what I thought too so I'm assuming the owner, an 80 year man, must have poor information. @braindead well I was trying to find out as I am supposed to go see it tomorrow but it's two and a half hours away, does anyone know if something a little lager such as an older 24 foot, have a little more chance of the capability?
There were a lot of the Dodge 360, 440 as well in the 24 foot. The 440 just used more gas, not really a big change in power. I wouldn't recommend those either. They may have pulled a Jeep or two, but the old CJ that weighed in at 2,200 lbs. That Wrangler starts at 3,500 or the new ones a little over 4,000 lbs.
If you can find a V10 Ford or the Chev Workhorse, I would think you would be fine but that is going to be a newer rig.
(I stand corrected on the 400 being a small block)
