baxterbaxter Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Hi guys, Currently in the process of fitting a new engine in my Capri, hence the old set up is up for sale.Almost everything needed to make a Capri run low 13/high 12 second 1/4 mile times (depending on tyres, diff ratio etc) and light up the tyres on demand, lots of fun. Comes with following- AMC 360 engine: New gaskets, re ground valves and new stem seals Engine mounts to fit to Capri 2.8 cross-member Edelbrock intake manifold(£200) Holley 750 carb (£400) bracket to use Capri throttle cable included New dizzy and gear set (£180) Compcam camshaft lifters and rockers (£600) no longer have the spec for this, but not too aggressive for every day driving 4 branch exhaust manifolds, blockhugger style New filter, oil and plugs. Torqueflite 727 gearbox (have receipts for full rebuilt for a grand a couple years ago) Mount to Capri shell, no modifications needed. Propshaft for Atlas axle made by Dave Mac props in Coventry Gear box tunnel will require slight modification to clear gearbox shifter, nothing major, can show photos of mine. No other modifications to the shell required, clears standard master cylinder and steering linkage.Will require the following to fit- Your choice of shifter, I used a B&M ratchet but not to everyone's taste.Will also require radiator plumbing in, again not a tough job, and an electric fan if you don't have one already. Kickdown cable, I removed this as planned to install manual valve bodies before going with the engine swap, might be able to dig it out. Hopefully I've remembered everything... £1600 Any questions give me a call or test 07475755588. Thanks for looking, Joe.

baxterbaxter Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 Here's some images of the engine, exhaust system and prop, and one of when it was first fitted in the engine bay.Can take any more specific photos on request.
baxterbaxter Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Posted February 24, 2015 Anyone fancy it all for 2k? Otherwise I guess I'll break it and ebay it all, just seems a shame as it's pretty much ready to go into a Capri.
baxterbaxter Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Posted April 8, 2015 £1600 without full exhausts. (manifolds and start of exhaust included)
