ive just spoke to the engineer and he said that if we dothe cal 980x3 =9800cc close to3ltr and he would pass it for rego as it fit in the guide lines set out and he would even do a small turbo on it. so iam going to find a nice mark 2 escort 2 door and do an other conversion

At the risk of sounding rude (and upsetting a few Capri owners while I'm at it!), my question is: why do you want to stick one of those big, heavy, poor power producing (per dollar spent) boat anchors into an Escort? If it's just for the sake of having a V6 under the bonnet and being a little bit different, that's one thing. But if you want the thing to go around corners and produce a bit of grunt, I'd steer clear. There are other alternatives if it just has to be a V6 though.

If you just wanna have a v6 in there I have a Buick 3.8L v6 that was installed in my 4 cylinder capri, I removed it to go back to a 4 but still have it and a bunch of hot up parts including a suck through carby turbo kit for it if you are at all interested.  It is around 30% lighter than the stock capri 3L

Why not look at a suzuki v6 3ltr all alloy.
