 wouldn't use an -air-cooled- bw for any heavy lifting.  the std auto
 with 2bbl 290s and 304s up to '71 was a -water-cooled- aluminum auto,
 and with a good cooler that'd be alright for easy towing.

" Oh, and what about the AMC 15, strong/weak ? thanks

likewise.  biggest engine the amc15 was ever used with is the 258.
descendant dana 35 is used with some pretty heavy trucks for a little
axle, but it has stronger one-piece axle shafts and hubs.
