i just picked up a 87 sammy and i wanted to be pointed in the best direction on more power and doing it right . so far it has 31 inch tires and a lift kit and is really solid outside. for motor it is stock same with drivetrain. im looking to make my sammy good enough for a daily driver and be able to keep up with traffic haha . what is my first move ? should i jump right into a swap or can i make the 1.3 a little more of what im looking for? i would like to switch over to 33s but for right now i know it will be really sluggish with 33s on it . any opinions or advice would be great thanks

Come on guys I know you know of some info to get me started

Uh, no mention of gearing.  Get a t-case gearset and stick with the 31" tires. 

Well, I have a 87 Sammy and here is what I am willing to LIVE WITH !
