Stroker kit,supercharger or twin turbos should do the job

Or you could look out for a second hand injection kit off ebay they go pretty cheap.

Now there's a thought, pick your own hourly rate, 2 for $62 or full price at $43/hr

Or straight forward engine upgrade?

She struggles a bit on the cold mornings with the current choke setup. Also seems to run low pressure/high temp oil as soon as I sit on 80-90 clicks for half hour or so. especially climbing hills. Same thing when in low range. Love the car, don't want to give her the full treatment but just make general day to day easier on her.

I have an 81' two door too
Reconditioned carby and radiator, best thing I have done and improves economy no end.
Expensive though.

How about a 4.4 with reco heads, extractors, all ancillaries, new gas converter for $650 plus $200 frieght to your door

In reality a 3.5 is simply to small, to underpowered in all aspects, more cubes, forced induction or transplants are the go

Have you ever seen a 3.5 inj with a turbo? I would love pics as it may be something a bit different. I use my D1 for touring and towing plus daily driver etc. Would a turbo on this engine be like a turbo on a diesel with regard to power and torque as I loved my HJ60 with the AXT turbo diesel for towing shame about the rest of the wagon.
