Question Sierra 1.6 GL P reg

CAn someone answer the following questions.

I have managed to track down a 1.6 ford sierra GL P reg.

Does anybody know if that would be okay for the Roadster, I assume it will but will it give enough power for track days.?

Does it come with EFI?

Thank you

GL? They stoped that trim in 89
P reg? The last know cars are on an M plate.

1.6 Could be

Pinto Carbed
CVH Carbed
CVH CFi ( single point carb )

Ps.. track days are not all about power, a 1600 is not exactly blessed in the HP department but should still be fun.

Question

I am going to look at the car in the new year, might be a GLS.

If all goes to plan I should get it for near to nothing and still has the keys and paperwork.

Is it worth holding out for the 2.0

Thank you Happyjo

GLS was only 2.0 and 2.9

GLX was a 1.6 trim from 91-93
