LT85. 0.7951 * 1.1923 * 3.54 = 3.36 It is a 4.7% difference from the LT95.
LT95 at 100 km/h is 2404 rpm. LT85 is 2286 rpm on 235/85R16.

Just to comment on the viability of a high mileage 4BD1, I would point out that a year or so ago I drove my 110, with over 600,000km at the time, from here (central west NSW) to Perth and back.
Total vehicle issues for the trip - end plate on aircleaner came loose and started rattling; fix - stopped for five minutes and tightened the wing nut. (better than last time I did this trip - had two flat tyres, one a blowout)

At 700,000km approx, mine got new liners pistons and bearings. The main bearings couldve been refitted they were hardly worn, and the crank just needed a polish.
In its early years it was over serviced, and even after the addition of a turbocharger at about 480k it just soldiered on...
The Isuzu 110. Solid and as dependable as a rock, coming soon with auto box😊
The Range Rover L322 4.4.TTDV8 ....probably won't bother with the remap..😈
Hi Roger, no it was bought from a customer who bought it sight unseen from central NSW , with the intention of using the drivetrain put of it. It was a V8. I bought the amazingly rust free shell off him . The engine however was from my uncle's 1988 county. It was the very first Isuzu 110 I had driven as a youngster on their farm. He had bought it new in 88. It's a full circle where the engine I first drove was then bought from him after his 110 disappeared from corrosion, and fitted to my Range rover classic for about 5 years, then fitted to the county shell.

The issue on the LT85 is that there is a metal pin that came with the original from the factory that gets fatigued and can shear with wear, causing issues as I understand it. Once you have to rebuild it, you can replace that with a hardened metal pin replacement and the LT85 goes quite well. I prefer the feel of the lt95 in the Perentie when not on interstate, but am thankful for the overdrive (and the hardened pin replacement) in my lt85. A lot of lt85's seem to hold up well if driven properly even without a rebuild, but if they've been ridden hard, did towing or overloading uphill frequently in overdrive (not to be done, as noted by previous posts), then they may need rebuilding. The beauty of this vehicle is anything on it is pretty straight forward to sort out (and there's great expertise here to help one do so) if needed AND these 110's are far more capable, reliable and resilient than models from other parts of the world from the same era. Ashcroft transmissions in the UK sell the reconditioning kits with the hardened pin for the lt85, fyi.

One question I would raise - 1989 should have the LT85, not the LT95. If it is an LT95, either the box has been replaced - or this may well not be the original engine/gearbox unit. If this is the case, it is very likely that the vehicle originally was a V8 (a check on the VIN using one of the online checkers should answer this).
In this case, the question is where did the engine come from, and how much work had it done? This is likely to be very difficult/impossible to find out. It is also possible that some of the accessories are not the same as the factory installation (although this length of time after manufacture, this is quite possible with a factory installation).

My Son's County runs a LT95 that's a bit on the noisy side. We found emulsified oil in in when we got the car home and did a prompt change. I suspect worn bearings, do these boxes fail in a spectacular manner or soldier on? We have a spare box but are not sure how urgently we need to do the change.
Cheers,
Mark
