2 things you are missing (or more?), 5th gear overdrive and I would guess the engine is governed around 2200 rpm. it isn't quite as simple as putting in a different engine and tranny, there is a lot of engineering that needs to go on to get a specific top end. starting with hp, engine rpms, drive ratios, tire size, as well as sizing and matching of components. then you need to stop all that weight safely. it is possible, but not easy or inexpensive. truck in the video does 88mph and locks up and skids nice. still the most fun just driving around town. truck is a crewcab.
