If he had the horsepower to match that torque he might have got enough speed up to clear the bog!
(don't these 6's have like 2x the torque to hp ratio?)
Regardless that jimmy v6 with stacks through the hood sounds and looks cool.

Those v6's run good and long to and the pistons are HUGE.

Yep! Not sure what the bore is on the 401 but I know my 305 is 4.25 bore x 3.58 stroke....
