The engine is a tuned 3.5 Rover V8 and there's plenty of space for it as it's sitting way back in the bay - only the ancilliaries i.e. water pump, oil pump and dizzy are in front of the cross member / steering rack.
It would be awesome to fit an original 500 plus bhp BDA but it ain't gonna happen on my budget :)
I know its not for the pureists...but i know someone whos fitted a mitsubishi turbo engine to his mk1....not an evo though...he says hes the first to do this...
The Zakspeed Capris had 1427cc (460hp) and the 1746cc (560hp) Based on the old iron block,1300 and 1600 Kent engine with BDA top and a BIG kkk turbo! I love FORD and hate VW
That engine would've been a tight fit - what size is it?
Zakspeed - I found the one they did based off the 1978 Ford Capri Mk3 unusual (for racing purposes only Gr5) - massive wings and spoilers, and beneath it all a turbocharged 1.4L 4 cylinder!
My sis went to prom in that car.

Hello,
OK I still want a car like this.
So I will need to build my own/ find another one.
Is there potentially something to read up on your car which will give some more information about it?
Could I also ask to join the line if you should change your mind?
How can we establish contact?
Thanks, A.
