Caprisport use to do the kits (what i used for mine), they may still have a few sets of plans left to aide the build process but regarding them having any kits very unlikely
magnum use to do a kit too, but i never used there kits so can't give any info on it.
sorry if this is a bit short and vague, when the kits were in production nobody wanted a v8 capri, now everyone seems to want one

If people who talk about building Rover V8 Capri's were in a position to actually do it, we'd still be making parts.
They're not so we don't
Tony would be the first to admit - it's been years of work and thousands spent.
Given a couple of days, we could have a pile of bits to do the job.
Re-built 3.9 with efi complete
or a complete Vittess engine in bits
good gearbox
flywheel
manifolds & mounts
prop shaft
radiator and fans
dash pack with an 8 cylinder rev counter
This stuff doesn't grow on trees and
we have all this and more taking up shelf space.
If your serious, get in touch, everything you need is here.
