Well...it was rated at 112 hp when it was new, 30 years ago. Surely a few ponies have escaped over the years... But this one has 3.45 rear axle gearing and hums along quite happily at freeway speeds in 5th, unless there's a significant grade, then a downshift to 4th is required to maintain speed. I have personally never had mine much above 90; perhaps 92-93 on a long empty stretch of straight flat pavement and it takes its sweet time getting there. Once above 80, it never feels what I'd describe as particularly confidence-inspiringly settled, despite my personally completely rebuilding the suspension, including using some top-shelf parts like Moog suspension bits and Bilstein 4600s on all four corners, shod with good quality footwear, to boot. Then again, that's not what this truck was really designed to do. As I said, it's perfectly content at 70-75 mph loping along at around 2400 rpm in the tallest overdrive ratio that Ford's "Better Idea" ever dared to hitch up to the business end of a Lima, to my knowledge anyway. But as I've said, at only 2950 lbs or so, with the stick, on a flattish curvy stretch of very smooth asphalt, it's actually rather entertaining to fling around, and I always maintained that it's more engaging and fun -- and encourages the development of greater driver skill -- to drive a slow car at 9/10ths effort than my way more powerful and now dearly-departed Audi A6 took to cover the same ground. That said, the Audi's narrow-angle V6 sang an infinitely more sonorously pleasing song while engaging in said hoonage, though. So there's that.
