Small Block Cast Iron Intake Part Missing

How's this pretty much stock 318 with an A518 with 2.76 rear end going to work as a tow vehicle. Sounds like it will be struggling to get into overdrive, or very underpowered when towing. Anyone else's opinion?
Easy lemondata, the underrated 318 has feelings too, she tends to get revved up over comments and thinks she can do it! You’d prob be surprised to know this same truck towed my 440-6 Cuda to many local events in early 80’s w 225/6! Guess depends on definition of underpowered as I don’t recall passing many on a 2-lane. I should mention I had trans built with adjusted ratios. At worst, I’ll drop to a 3.55 or 4:10.
