There are many as I am not aware of any V8 engines that are interference. So I think you would be safe to go for anything that has a v8 or larger. They also meet the timing chain requirement. Another gain with the v8 is its ability to tow at least the 2500 lbs you are concerned with. However please refer to each vehicles manufacturer recommendations on towing capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" title=\"2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 Review\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef qsa_\\&amp;start\\=20\" id=\"WYL_jf5_vwU4z9M\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fjf5_vwU4z9M%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jf5_vwU4z9M\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT11M4S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2016-04-30T05:33:08Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_jf5_vwU4z9M\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fjf5_vwU4z9M%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 Review<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jf5_vwU4z9M\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fjf5_vwU4z9M%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 Review\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Today we&#039;ll take a look at this 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe Z71 showing you many of the features that this vehicle has to offer Exterior Color: Black Metallic Interior: Neutral\/Shale Leather Engine: 5.3 LM7 OHV 16v Vortec Small Block V8 Transmission: 4L60-E 4 Speed Automatic Power: 285 hp &amp; 325 lb-ft Torque 0-60 Times: 8.5 Seconds 1\/4 Mile Times: 16.5 Seconds Towing Capacity: 6,500 lbs Fuel Economy: EPA estimates 14 City, 19 Highway on Regular Unleaded Gas The dealership that I filmed this truck at unfortunately went out of business some time ago, which is a shame because they have bought and sold some of the best looking cars and trucks for a good while, and it was certainly fun filming over there.
