Here is a table that should answer your questions (U.S. models only).
I constructed this table based on my memory so please excuse any
errors:

1980	4000 Auto	2.1L5 K-Jet	FWD 3A		100hp
1981	4000		1.7L4 K-Jet	FWD 5M+		74hp
1981	4000 5+5	2.1L5 K-Jet	FWD 5M		100hp
1982	4000S		1.7L4 K-Jet	FWD 5M+		74hp

* High compression motor with knock sensor control
+ Wide ratio
# Medium ratio
@ Close ratio

As far as gas mileage goes, the earlier, lighter 4000s with the
wide ratio 5-speed boxes can easily give you 35+ mpg.  The later
cars with bigger engines and closer ratio transmissions give you
much better performance, with some loss of fuel mileage.

Even though this is listed as an optional item, most 85 and later 4000s
that I've seen are equipped with sunroofs.  The latter ones are power
tilt/slide.
