My parents pulled a pop-up with a falcon. In '62 they traded in the falcon for a falcon wagon and went from a 144 cu in to a 170 cu in. Dad said that was a power house and pulled the pop-up much better.

I remember the 144. A GF had one in her '62 Mercury Comet. Not enough power to pull off the skin of a tapioca pudding. Your dad was right, the 170 inline Ford six was a powerhouse compared to the 144 cube. I think your dad would of been very impressed with the Ford 300 cube inline six. :)
Hey, now, my current TV is 183 cu inches (i.e., 3.0 liters) and a whopping 265 HP (but being a diesel, 425 lb-ft of torque). It is a a real torque monster, but of course, limited to 6,000 lbs towing capacity.
