    I'm with him, why would you fuck a perfectly good Capri by sticking a jap engine in it.

    That's as bad as the guy around the corner that put a toyota engine into a Mk2 cortina and reduced it's value by $5k
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    Should have put a 351C in that one.

    Im putting the sr20det in the capri because its purely for drag/track purposes. The car with the engine and a full tank of petrol will be around the 900 kg mark. That accompanied by 350-380 horses equals a whole lot of fun. With a v8 it makes it heavier and its been done too much. Theres not many sr20det capris around but tonnes of v8 ones. Besides turbocharged jap engines are beautiful and in all honesty the car is going to be kept for a long time. I wouldnt sell her.

    My old man had a 700 hp twin turbo mk2 cortina in south africa. Was a nice car but never would I put a Toyota engine in a cortina. Lol

    Had an escort as my second car. Good ol mk1 2 door. Was pretty nice. The capri will handle mint with the skyline suspension conversion and custom sway bars and tie bars. It shouldnt be too bad. Gosh I love alloy ha ha

    IKR. Pointless. Chuck the motor in some ricer.

    Back in the old days we did a 302 into a Mk2. When you punched it the back window would pop out. So we put extra brackets on the louvers to hold it in.

    Got any pics of this beast?
    Why not 5 link with a Watts linkage? Well proven combination. And you can run XR4i Sierra disk rear on them too, so solves the ol' 9 inch drum issue. Turret the rear, kits are cheap. Nice wee Quaiffe center and she'll be well sorted and fairly cheap.
    Then a set of group 4 front struts (brace 'em by the stub axle)

    Have a few pics of her. Shes still got the old 2 litre pinto in at the moment but the sr20dets ready to go in as its freshly built. Going to run a g4 link as well. i really just want to run mostly nissan parts because of the ease of obtaining them verses ford stuff. They can be a pain in the ass. Did a 400 big block rebuild on a mk5 cortina. High power rebuild, race cam and higher comp pistons worked a treat. Lucky the tunnel was already cut and stuff. But ill upload some pics at work tomorrow of the capri. Bodys been painted 3 stage pearl white already. The cars been sitting for a year now. Really need to find time to work on it. Also got an s10 blazer which is registered. Left hand deive and borg warner five speee manual. Sucks that its v6 but got a turbo 327 from an old impala for it

    Palmside.co.nz for any old British Ford parts. Very useful people and well priced. Otherwise Burtonpower in the U.K can help. Link and turret set ups are cheap as chips for them.
