We used to tow fighter planes with tugs powered by /6 motors...those motors were pretty bulletproof. While a V8 would be more cost effective for more power, I have a soft spot for /6 motors. The hot-rod /6 motors are pretty unique... even if they aren't the quickest, they're cool in their own way, 
We had inline 6 Ford's in our TUGs at FedEx on the ramp. They were a hoot to drive. I have gotten a few of them to pop wheelies. Got in trouble a few times for it too. The TUG was governed at 15mph. still weighed about 2500lbs and I know I could pull 4 J-Cans with dollies...thats roughtly 3800lbs per can and 1200 per dolly...that comes to about 20,000 pounds. You can't argue with that workhorse.
with enough gearing, a briggs and stratton lawn mower engine could tow a semi truck....
