Thanks for all your responses so far. Yes, it's got a 283 V-8. As for my intended usage... I am not going to beat the pants off this vintage wagon, but I do plan to do some traveling and occasionally pulling a small vintage wooden powerboat. I know wood boats are heavy, but this little thing is only 12' long.
The four speed w/OD sounds great for highway cruising and economy, but not so great if towing will fry the trans. So can I just tow in 3rd? Is that gear 1:1 ?
