Here's my first two loads of the year. My friend scored a 79 vette for next to nothing. Then he borrowed a 1980 Camaro to take the 4spd out to put in his trans am.

That's what Ford trucks do best. Haul and tow GM stuff around.

Here's my 93 7.3N/A IDI pulling around 12,000lbs through the Texas hill country. It was my first time pulling with an IDI and it did okay. No going anywhere in a hurry but it tugged along. Had it up to about 75mph in spots trying to build speed for hills. It would typically lose about 15mph by the top but I wasn't pushing it.

Wonder how an ol NA would hold up pullin 20k..

Without having any tongue weight? I pull a 550 bushel J&M gravity wagon, not including the weight of the running gear or the gravity box, the corn alone weighs in at 30,000, thats dry corn at 56lbs a bushel. NA it was terrible, but it would creep up to 30mph after a half mile or so

How much does your car and trailer weigh? I pull a similar setup to the track with no issues.....about 5000lbs. On steep inclines with CC set I would loose some speed and kick out of CC, but nothing too drastic. I could maintain speed if I gave it a little more throttle than CC would allow. On anything but the steep inclines she would cruise along like the trailer wasn't even there.......CC set at 60-65mph. 7.3 NA c6 3.54's
