Thanks guys for all the inputs! It is amazing the wide range of weights I am getting! I know my 2.73 rear end ratio is not good for towing, though, but probably still OK for a tear drop trailer... Maybe a th700r4 trans would help too, with its shorter first gear and lock up converter.
I would like to (respectfully!) somewhat disagree with a couple of you guys:
my Burb will never be (and never was!)a Kenworth, but I think that a Camaro front clip does not emasculate it, on the contrary: it does give me power disc brakes (which is better than stock...), the power steering and independent suspension give easier control and the 250ci engine has more power and torque than the original 235ci engine... So I think that, as far as driving experience is concerned, my Burb is "better" than stock. I understand some people prefer all original, but I really love cruising the freeway at 70mph all day long!
I guess the 1-ton Burb with its 5.14 raer end ratio (I think) tows better, but we are now closer to a farm implement than a real highway vehicle! ;-)
