Why do you think guys call it the "leaning tower of power"? Is it a manual trans? I would guess it would be an np435 if so. If it's an auto, then it's a 904 at worst. You'll have to drive it to decide if it's enough for you. Back in the 60s/70s, you could order a w500 with a slant six if you really wanted to.
