I have a 1989 4Runner with 2.3litre petrol engine, which in automatic transmission form wouldn't pull the skin of a rice pudding!

The truck's only travelled 140Ks, the mechannicals are good. Whilst the off-road performance is good, I want to do something to improve its performance on-road.

Being now semi-retired, the Wife and I have had time to do a few forest trecks, but find the highway sections of our trips a real pain. The slighest incline, and the truck's back to 3rd and often to 2nd!!!

I've heard that a Holden V6 transplant works well, but as the 2.3 litre Toyota engine has done so little work, I'm more inclined to spend some $ to improve it's on-road performance.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Regards,
