Late to the party
Make sure the lock up torque convertor is working
Consider to fit a transmission temp gauge
Consider to fit a manual vacuum gauge temporarily
800kg on an incline will heat up the transmission a lot
You should be able accelerate on a slight incline
Was the engine run-in with good practice
Do a compression test, that will be a big clue on power
Finally, a wheel dyno will give you real numbers
I have seen a rebuilt engine should put out 200hp at flywheel, 115 at rear wheels auto trans no lockup
