Towing motor



With a range of 2500 to 3900 rpm producing peak torque, and 200 hp at 2500rpm to a peak hp at 5100 rpm: is this an example of a proper gas motor for a tow vehicle?

The next choice has a similar dyno test with 315 tfp and 415 hp.

That torque curve looks like it was designed for good pulling. What engine/model is it from?

Just a motor I'm considering installing in my TV. It's a 383 stroker. There are so many crate motors options if you want bling or speeding tickets. The builders or sellers will say you'll have more than enough to tow with, buy my motor or rebuild.

I was hoping for a couple of opinions from experienced motor heads.
