It certainly did, it was the 2.3L slant 4 overhead cam, roumered to be half of a new design V8. Swapped that out for a 3.5L rover V8. Totaly transformed it. Still did about 25mpg on a trip. Only prob was I used a manual gear box, as the engine was set back a long way in to the cab area the gear lever was behind the rear seats. This ment pull forward for fisrt push back for second ect. Only time it was a problem was when carrying sheets of 4 x8 ply wood, if I braked the sheets would slide forward and push the gear lever to one of the front gates!!
