A quick update now that we have some photos posted on this thread, thanks Daryl.As you all know we removed the original engine to put in my Mustang for drag racing and were going to put a mild 302 back in the Capri well I couldnt help myself so the little 302 is still sitting on the bench and weve installed another 351 this one is a later model roller block, some quick specs are eagle crank and rods srp pistons hydraulic roller cam and trickflow ali heads this engine was built to have conservativly 400 rear wheel horsepower.
We have done a couple of test passes at the drags and eased it up to a 11.15 et, with the auto self shifting in drive, I have no intentions of installing a rollcage so Im happy if we stay around that et.
Because we have the Mustang to race the Capri will be used for certain events only ie motorvation powercruise nostalgia and general crusing well thats the direction at the moment anyway. My wifes looking at this and shaking her head.
Also Ive had the Capri weighed and its 1142 Kgs without me in it, a drop of about 20Kgs by having ali heads and water pump instead of iron.
