Easy.....drop in a 302......there's a boatload a things that you can do if it hasn't been done already.....open up the exhaust...better flowing mostly...the bends in the pipe from the factory are ridiculously small and bottleneck the heck out of it....get you a highflow cat...or even the entire wye pipe.....then get a better flowing air filter...Just to start out...Luck

I pulla 1971 24' Terry , not exactly a light camper by any means, only problem I have is going uphill from a dead stop, other than that pulls just fine loaded down with supplies, guess thats where a diesel would perform better.
Only suggestion I would make would be to get a good weight distibution hitch, makes a world of difference, and keep plenty of distance between other vehicles, make sure tranny fluid is up to par and a better tranny cooler.

I just added an Edelbrock Performer intake and a set of 1.7 ration roller rockers to my truck, I already had a custom bent y pipe and tru dualed the exhaust with a set of summit turbo mufflers, and also a K&N stock replacement air filter. My truck rocks, I can smoke my 31x10.5 tires on command. I am sure it is going to pull my mustang much better this summer.

Now with the new intake and rockers I can hit the sam hill and my motor just growls and I can even accelerat up the hill. that to me is an amazing difference. I cant wait to hook my car up behind it and head for KY see how she really pulls.
