sounds awesome but full race spec has race cams like 300+ degrees duration, which makes a lumpy idle, this is to smooth for full race spec, still lovely though but more like fast road spec valve timing.
Use 1:100 (1%) two stroke oil in your tank to prevent tank and engine corrosion if you use the modern aggressive fuel that contain 5-10% methanol (not good for the old engine and fuel system materials!)
can i ask does the rover v8 drop in or do i have to make her fit? and as its been said does it have the standard gearbox in? or something a bit more beefy
that's really a rover v8 in there? it sounds more like a ford small block!! awesome and totally envious! lol any chance of a walk round the capri with your camera especially under the bonnet? thanks :-)
3.5 Rover V8, mildly tuned and i have an efi kit to go on it....just as soon as i get the time! Just bought myself a Westfield too so the Capri may have to wait a little longer yet!
Brilliant. What a sound. I used to own a MKII JPS V6 3.0 Ltr back in the day (well it was an old second hand one) but could still see off the new kid on the block (VW Golf). But your car is what the Capri should have been and perhaps 4WD would have been a great idea for the Capri?
LOVE this video! I also own a V8 mk1 Capri, had it since 1990 but currently off the road undergoing a few mods and a respray in black. Sure i've seen yours at CCI's Summer camp? Stunning...and tax exempt too!
Beautiful! I drive a US spec 1973 2600, and this weekend purchased a 1973 for a V8 conversion of my own. Over here we use the 302 Ford V8 as a common conversion. I have the complete flare kit as well, so this video gives me inspiration to get started!
thats nothing man!!!! i was insuring a 318is bmw without declaring all my mods at 21 and that was costing me 1100 with 3yrs no claims and no confivictions,
my 2.0 mk3 capri was £320 though :D currently building a mk3 capri xx pack with a rover v8, watch out for it on hear for next summer :D
They tried....Its called the Mustang II, but everybody hated it and called it ugly *it is sorta ugly* Its a good car but they just didn't last that long in the marketplace.
Nice, sounds gorgeous mate, my dad once had a Mk3 which apparently would wheel spin on the first 100metres of pulling off. It was the 3L ghia. It was before I was born but I've seen the photos.
love it. whats the exhaust system
