Get use to it. A 22R will have 60-70hp at the rear wheel and its trying to move over 5500lb

How badly? Mine did that last year. Cruisin' along, come to a hill; 10 mph. It was the TPS. Throttle position sensor. It's in the throttle body. I replaced it, not hard but fiddly. Look it up.

You missed the point. To move 5500lbs up a 4% grade at 65 mph will require 200 hp.

Don't have 200HP?? then a full tune up to specs including valves. Weird things to check fuel pump pressure, does the carb open all the way, clean air filter .

P.S. A 22R does not have a TPS

If it's an 87 it is a 22RE. How steep is this hill? On a very steep hill because of the excessive weight the converter may stall when you try to take off from a stand still that maybe what you are talking about is it OK otherwise? Like out on the road?

The 22R was made 81-90 with 2 row or single row timing chain. The 22RE was made 83-97. So an 87 could be either. The OP said he changed the head so I would hope he knows the difference between a carb and EFI
