I had a Ford Transit coachbuilt ambulance with a 3 litre Essex fitted. Wow. At 117 mph you could see the fuel gauge going down...

Sounds like a true european car. My dad used to own a 77 Mercury Capri Ghia a while ago until my mom got into a car wreck. My dad replaced the horrible Variable-venturi carburetor and installed installed a 2 barrel carb from a 351 Windsor. He said is ran great and had a lot more power.

With a lump of (what I would presume to be) cast iron that big I wouldn't be suprised. Even though it isnt as fast as the 2.8i Cologne V6, I do believe they do produce more torque or BHP. If I remember rightly. I'm no expert in mechanics but what engine of the Capri range would you think would suit a rookie?
Beautiful! i would have a 3.0s over a 2.8i anyday.On paper,the 2.8i cologne develops more BHP,but this Engine is all about Torque,which is more important anyway.And as others have said,the Essex is far more tunable than the Cologne.

I don't care what they say, you can't beat the Essex 3.0. The loveliest engine Ford ever fitted to the Capri. Lovely video mate, look after her...
