Capri Technical Forum:

what a lovely understated straight looking capri...what was the performance like running the cologne on a carb, compared to injection??

The v8 looks good as well!!!

Just realised my fuel tank that was made for my capri had fuel outlet pipe in the top,so I may still have to get a fuel pump that pulls,have found out that rangerover pumps are pullers,but will it keep up with chevy engine? it should do....because itll be regulated down anyway...The trick is to sel...

The cherry bomb type exhausts do get a lot louder with time!!

Theyre actually fairly quiet (but nice and deep sounding) when new

But now youve got me wondering about my exhaust system...its a peter Lloyd rallying 2 inch big bore system....its not over loud though (i think)

ive got a facet silver top competition pump on my capri..

and its mounted in the engine bay....it wouldnt be powerful enough for a v8 though, its only rated upto 200bhp applications

more than enough for my 2.1 pinto though

ive got a 2.1 pinto in my capri with a 1600 axle 3:75.1 ratio...

seems to cope well enough...acceleration is pretty fruity!!

and with twin 45 DCOE"s i can hit the red line in 5th, about 120ish mph on the speedo....but i am aware how innacurate capri speedos are

not a massive fan of body kits my self...but thats 1 clean capri youve got there

looks like youve got plenty of work on there....should keep you busy well into the new year

Didnt you fit any dgas carbs in the end??

I wonder if that writing means 25 out of a build of 100???

Jon mentioned this to me - Can remember years ago seing an Escort with something like this. Kind of like the old "twin 40" type thing but with vertical carbs. Think they were more common on the Fiat twin cams but someone made OHV-Cross-flow and pinto manifolds. Would have been early to mid 80's Nei...
