The lack of power on hills seemed to be mostly the fault of the transmission and gearing. The trans would shift up to top gear as quickly as possible (1500 RPM at 65 MPH) and was reluctant to downshift - very much like a 50-year-old Rambler Flash-O-Matic rather than the much more responsive old-school Torqueflites.
Results were better if shifted manually, but there was a huge gap between two of the gears, I think between 4th and 5th, that was annoying.
