Not to start a flame war, but the V-8 to get for towing is the 351...I 
believe that the I-6 has a higher torque rating (at a lower RPM even) 
than the 302.  The I-6 is a real stump puller.  If I wanted to, I could 
drive around town all day with only 3rd through 5th.  The problem with 
the 302 is that it has such a short stroke compared to the 300 (4+ inches 
for the 6 compared to 3 inches for the 8)  That's my $.02.

and I went to pick her up in the rain.
But before I could get to the station in my pick up truck,
she got runned over by the darned old train...
