1956 F100 what can it pull?
I am building this truck with a 1972 Ford 429 motor with throttle body fuel injection and turbo charged, a C-6 transmission, 31 spline Ford 9" rear end with 325 gears and posi-traction. Totally boxed...

The motor came out of a 1973 Thunderbird, which at the time used leaded gas. Ford did not use this motor in trucks, they used a 390 or a 460. My motor will be rebuilt to accept unleaded gas, with all new internals. It will have fuel injection throttle body and will be turbo charged to help with towing. So why not use Gear Vendors? Sounds like it would improve gas mileage and towing regardless of motor use.
Are you kidding?
You will probably be able to spin the rears at 60mph when towing. No turbo is needed really. Maybe too late to drop it and increase compression.
