after 2 years of owning my sierra its time to pull my finger out and get it out of the shed and do something with it , it already has a running g13 carb engine in it , that i have a single point injection setup for , but i also have 2 other engines sitting here at my disposal..
1. a g16 single point injected swift engine.
2. a 200HP+ gti engine.
I intend to use the car for weekend fun , light 4X4ing (no extreme rockcrawling, but some spirited 4X4ing) ,and some beachwork (read fishing to get away from missus and kids)
What would you do ? its pretty much standard atm apart from a 2 inch spring lift , i have a fibreglass canopy for it which i bought recently.

The mention of beach work has me leaning towards the GTi engine, but generally you're best off to completely ignore me and do the complete opposite
If only I could ignore me i'd be a lot better off

DO OPTION 2.!!! Dave.
Massively overpowered sierra's are all the rage. You might have to do a good job of hiding that little blue bottle thou hehe.

SO!!! forget every mod mentioned above, leave it standard, go and get away. You don't need 500bhp to drive gravel roads, kipparing shops and beach!!!
