Actually most of Canadian 4000's all the way from 1982-87 have the 5-cyl 
engine with a 5 speed box.  They are all loaded as well with power windows, 
mirrors, heated mirrors, air condition, power steering, most had the heated 
seats and a sunroof.  To think of it I've never seen an 1983-84 4000s 
without a 5-cyl engine here in Canada.
