25 years ago the Ford 240 6 cylinder gave up the ghost so being sponsored by a Junk yard, they sold me a 455 out of a 73 Grand Am with the Turbo 400 for $250. It was beast for towing. The 4,56 Dana was a little steep so I put on taller rear tires to tame it down a bit.. The gas mileage sucked but it towed great.
