It's a custom hot rod and a cool one at that...that will also tow well.
Nailed it! Always fun to stir the pot a little. It would also be super fun to run around in that big sleeper, giving the occasional big surprise to various V8 muscle cars and tuner boys in imports!

Having ran huffers on a couple of old tech built for towing 454/460 one ton drw trucks in commercial service in the '70s heat was a engine killer.
This is 40+ year newer tech but I would like to see a actual towing test up the IKe and see how the belt driven huffer and other mods deals with excess heat through the engine/tranny. See what actual temps are like working heavy rather than a drag race.
I was wondering the same, was thinking that motor would really heat up from a long hard pull. With that much power it should easily complete a "full pull" with the 15K trailer up the Ike (60 mph the whole way) but could the cooling system exchange that much heat? And it would be fun to snicker at the abysmal mpg.

Were those old trucks running roots blowers that came off a Detroit 2-stroke?
