  • The first in a series of short videos showing how my 1983 Mk 3 Capri has been converted to a Small Block Ford V8 (Windsor)
    Over this series I will try to answer all the questions anyone considering converting their Capri to a V8 may have. Starting with body modifications, Strengthening of the shell, Engine mounting and Gearbox and Clutch.
    Capri Braking and Suspension are well covered on TH-cam, however I will do a brief rundown on my setup at the end of this series.
    Stay tuned.

    Nice mate. You might remember that V8 Capri's dominated Australian street car drag racing in the late 80's. But way too many had a small block Chev stuffed into them.

      Hi, Ive been a be distracted with work and another project so the V8 has been on the back-burner. Its an expensive conversion but well worth it when you are crusing on the motorway and hearing that V8 rumble. Check out my cruise video.

    Nice video. Do you reckon the pinto 4 speed gearboxes are suitable for a stock 302?
