A little help with a 1.6 vit engine swap?

My First Suzuki - SJ413

Hello, I'm the proud new owner of a 1990 SJ413. Purchased off ebay, purchased SORN, currently getting some welding (wheel arches and sills) and some new brakes. Looking to restore it back to its original state in the coming weeks. Also just purchased a roof tent which should be interesting. Any advi...
