We wanted acceleration for short distances not towing and that is what they were built for. Those big carburetors and high lift long duration cams would suck for towing unless we stayed in second gear and fuel consumption would break the bank. The 472 Caddy would have towed with ease but I'll bet it was thirsty. K Charles, that is funny. Obviously your dad didn't have high expectations.
