I have just obtained my FIRST FORD. Took a long time to get there, however the Ford that I now have is a Capri Convertible 1990
 "Why!!" do I hear you ask? Well I believe that they are misjudged and misunderstood and probably nearly all gone from the face of the earth and they don't deserve that sort of treatment. So I have decided to save one. However it has done a head gasket or similar and has NO compression and is in need of a heart transplant. What I need to accomplish this amazing feat is information on what Ford motor can I mate up to the single cam 1600 manual gearbox. I would have to be a twin cam at least and probably a lot younger than 1990. Perhaps a late model Laser or Mondeo or similar. Can any body assist with suggestions or information?? Regards, Paul |

Hi Paul,
How is the Capri going? I've purchased one as well and in need of the same info. I agree with you, they are a future classic and unfairly misjudged at the start. My father purchased one of the very first capri turbos and its been a trouble free rocket. So much so, that I've just bought a similar (non) turbo as a weekend run around (if I can get it going!) Please give me an update when you can John |
