Hey fellas im currently doing my best to do my v8 conversion on my 78 mk3, I have good mechanical skills but 0 modification skills. Anyway i would appreciate if anyone could send me some pics, links whatever you have to help me get this badboy in.
So far i have the engine bay stripped and painted, loom removed for now not sure if i need to re use it or buy something else help also needed there, I have my 302 removed from a fox body with standard engine mounts 2257 i think they are, need the cross member modified so if you have any pics or diagrams of how to do this please let me know and any other relevant info you might have if you have done this conversion yourself.

 
Also i have lots of capri parts available if anyone needs something hard to get i also have contact for getting anything capri related, can post parts world wide.
 
Thanks

The pics show the engine mounts generally used here - knock the abutments off any xmember and bolt these on
