Its an old conversion for a capri but a good one. Im sort of starting out of one.
Here are a couple of pics of finished items I took off a website - juicy!


I have the engine (33,000km) and the 2.8i mounts - so it should bolt straight in.
 

Ive decided to use a T5 since ive already sorted out that conversion without any dramas.
The gearbox is out of an xf falcon - (don't use a dunny door one - the input shaft is too long - tried that)

With that in mind I sourced  a bellhousing out of a 2.8 v6 mustang. They ran T5's. Ive removed the clutch actuating gear from it as I intend to use a donut release set up.

 
The flywheel is a 2.8i v6 one
 

 
the pressure plate - the Essex v6 one bolts up to the 2.8i flywheel. (although the dowels are slightly out)

 
The flywheel bolts are the same as 2.0 pinto ones
 
next step is to set the whole lot up in a spare shell. Ill use the 2.8i xmember, the t5 mounts are sorted as per my other thread
the only mods im looking at are using BOB cams etc, Vectra V6 injectors and and Boost Performance intake
 
I already have the cams and injectors
