My Bad boy drifter Crappie

v8's are

as the old saying goes, there's no substitute for boost

I Thought the old saying was,

"There is no substitute for cubic inches" ???

Nonono, it's "there's no replacement for displacement", it rhymes and everything

Wayhey! I have a Capri! Do go down the v8 route if you can, mine has a 4.0 rover v8 in there with various goodies attached to it and it goes excellently!

If youre still looking for a rollcage, theres a Safety Devices one for sale on eBay at the mo.

"Ain't no substitute for Capacity"...

Go for a 2.9 24v Cosworth lump, It's not a poxy 4cyl and makes all the right noises...

Now that is an idea, a great engine and you can pick up a knackered Scorpio Cosworth for feck all

I saw in Classic Ford an Anglia with a CA18DET. Looked fairly complex, but a pretty cool concept, different too. Could probably be replicated in a Capri.

That emoticon sums it up so well. Looked like a mean project. Roll on next year!

My Capri started as a 2.8i but now has a 302 (5 litre) Ford V8 with edelbrock alluminium heads, cam and intake, Holley 600, Roller Rockers etc. etc. 300 to 350 Bhp. LSD, polybushed, AVO / Bilstein shocks, CapriSport axle location kit etc.etc.
However you achieve it 300 bhp plus in a Capri is very entertaining! I personally think a v8 sounds the best aswell!
I fancy a go at drifting it.
