For trailer towing I would consider a big block, much more torque at a lower rpm. A 68 was offered with a BB so it is a bolt in. The 366 and 427 truck engines are tough old beasts but the 427 has a high deck block so the hot rodders have grabbed most of them for stroker engines. For just regular use the 396, 402, and 454 are good choices.

pretty easy to locate 454s in old motor homes and suburbans that have been wrecked.
