You are correct,power is the key when pulling a heavy trailer.While I have never heard or read of anyone else doing it,I personally have had my 64'WM300 w/stock 251 pegged out on the interstate just to see how fast it would go.The speedo was slamming 80,and if it was close to right I was doing at least 75-80mph,of course this was empty and I only sustained that speed for about a 1/4mi.
I have 5.83's in both axles,so while it might be a slow startoff,I believe it could swing 45-50mph pulling your heavy trailer by at least a 1/2mi.
