Would you tow with this? NOT MINE

Front end looks like it has 5-bolt hubs. I would have to assume that it also has a corresponding light duty suspension up front as well. While the front end doesn't carry the weight under acceleration and cruising, it does see a significant amount of weight transfer under braking. I would also want matching rims so I only have to drag around one spare.

The 383 stroker is probably built to go 1/4 of a mile at a time, not tow heavy for hours on end too... I also would not want to listen to it droning away at 3500RPM for hours on end. Would a 12 valve Cummins 5.9L fit, I wonder?

The ad states Mustang II front suspension. Way to light for serious hauling. It could be an HT 383 which is a GM crate motor for trucks with 323 hp and 444 ft lbs of torque. It also shouldn't be singing anywhere near 3500 with those rear tires unless it's geared extremely low
