    I have a 70 Jeep Wagoneer with the Buick 350 2v. I would like to build a 350 to puuuuuuullllllllll as I will be making a locomotive out of my Jeep pulling a 17' travel trailer and a 17 1/2' deep v fiberglass at the same time. Choo Choo!!!!!! Parts I have on hand include a factory 4v intake, Holley Qjet style carb and several dead engines, 2 red and one blue and HEI. Also will be installing Blackjack heades. All of this goes in front of a turbo 400 with shift kit and cooler, also will be running a 17" electric fan(should free up some power) and K&N 14" x as tall as will fit filter. Any advice on cam, pistons, rods etc. would be greatly appreciated.:Smarty::Smarty:

    What will you do when you have to stop? That's the question. I'd be scared to death that I'd run over someone pulling that much weight with such a small vehicle.

    What is a 17-1/2' deep v fiberglass? Is that a boat or something?

    I would stick with a mechanical fan. You'll need the cooling. And get a huge radiator.

    Maybe you should just put both red engines in the truck. :)

    Here's an idea...

    He could just keep a big block Ford on a chain in the back and throw it out as an anchor when he needed to stop...

    Travel trailer has electric brakes and won't be going over 55mph unless on interstate. Although the big block Ford on a chain doesn't sound to bad anyone have a doner?:grin: And yes it is a boat. Can I get all 3 engines in???????:confused:
