Great stuff. I also tried a 390 Holley (with secondary metering block) on my tuned 3ltrs but, like the triple webber setup, found it to be too much carb for a road car, it robbed the motor of too much low end torque. Best carb I ended up with was the 40DCNF although the stock DGAS as fitted to the later 722F blocks weren't actually that bad if jetted properly.

Ah... beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!

God ! Im glad i never fitted the steel cam gear if thats how they sound! I built my 3.1 with swaymar heads and a v62 cam back in 1982, it revved to nearly 7000 and never missed a beat, great engine, sold my 3.0GXL in '83 and got a BDA, still got that....

3.0Lt Capri's???? I left these behind when i started playing with 3dr Cosworths back in the late 80's&90's.
I used to race these & my last Capri had an ex Gordon Spice/Neil Brown Grp1 engine with triple DCNF Webers fitted. What a monster Capri that would be today.KTM 735V or PUD 944T did you survive i wonder ?? Cosi's came & went but i'd love a 3.0lt Capri in the garage again, happy memories.

My friend - former racer from Germany - Bernd Siller had a 320HP race Capri with 3.0 litre Essex engine tuned by Gordon Spice. I believe it was a real locomotive !

Hi, the manifold is from Swaymar (rather rare today, but you can buy it on eBay). Front pulley was machined off by grinder, hole was plugged. Thats all :)

Where did you get the inlet manifold? I wanna run a 4 barrel weber/edelbrock!
