Default originality

Hi, having driven quite a few carriers myself, I can assure you the ones that were restored to original specs. performed far better than the so called upgraded ones. Apart from the resale problem there is the fact that you will be missing out on the true experience of driving your carrier; all it's little idiosycrasies.
I new of one carrier where a powerful, modern V8 was fitted. This resulted in the entire gearbox shearing the bolts off the bell housing and spinning - ouch!. There is an engineering lesson in that; bolstering one part exposes weakness in another.
That said, it is your carrier.
Good luck,
Dave
