Holy sh*t, remember that talk we where having about the biggest v6's and what not. Look at this mini article that I found: The hp sucks but look at the torque:

"The 477.7 in³ (7.8 L) 478 was one of the largest V6 engines ever built. Gross output was 235 hp (175 kW) at 3200 rpm and 440 ft.lbf (597 Nm) at 1400 rpm. Bore was 5.125 in (130.2 mm) and stroke was 3.86 in (98 mm). It was introduced in 1963 in the 6500 series trucks.

It was superseded by the 1966 478M "Magnum" series, and production ended by 1974. Gross output was now 254 hp (189 kW) at 3700 rpm and 442 ft.lbf (599 Nm) at 1400 rpm."

and redlined at 3900rpm. something like that will be able to tow a house, yet it would be slow as shit.
