Facelift motors

Guys,

am I right in thinking the Facelift Capri 2LT was a straight Pinto motor or did it also come out with the V4 ? I was under the impression the V4 was from the pre-facelift model.

    oh ok, thanks for that. I was a bit confused when seeing a facelift Capri in Perth and being told it was a V4

    thanks

    I used to see the silver one with boot spoiler every so often at the Capri Clinic, the bloke bought it on the internet from over east - its a nice car, would like to see it again actually - haven't seen him for about 5 years.

    What was the deal with the V4 or Pinto ? was one of these motors used in the early facelift then changed to the other for the later ones ? or was it just customer preference as to which 2lt he wanted ?
