If you are prepared to spend money (and a fair bit of it), the best solution i can think of would be to put a jimny motor into it with the auto behind it.

issues with this are:

1. there's lots of wiring to be done as you will need to hook up computers and EFI.
2. it's EFI so you will need a fuel system update
3. it's expensive - jimny motor + gearbox + loom seem to start at about $2500
4. there are some doubts about how good the jimny auto box is (strength and reliability).

Another option would be to get another car? It may well turn out cheaper :?

However, the end result would be cool, but i doubt if you would let your wife take it shopping coz you'd be using it out on the tracks all the time :D
