i luv old capri's :smoker2:

this is the plan.

-buy unfinished project or rolling shell
-stick in a new barra inline-6, 4.0 ford engine. specs: 182kw, 380nm
-5 speed manual that comes with engine
-sports brakes
-sports suspention
-dual exaust
-alot of $$$ towards performance (intake, air filter, etc...)
-classy and chunky street machine wheels... probably simmons

then at least another $5k on body, then another 10k on interior, sound system etc.


i was thinking about gettin the turbo version of the engine but since im 18, i dont think theres any hope of me getting insurance. and a small v8 is out of the question.

what im lookin 4:

- a beaut classic car
- got balls, and it will after mods, hopin for around 220kw
- smooth ride, so il have to spend a bit more on movin parts n bits. and also the suspention.



any opinions dudes??

im thank full for any opinions u send my way.

Is there room for an Inline six? I've sen these with the 4's and V-6's obviously, and read about them with V8's (South Africa???), but as you already know straight sixes can be loooooong.

Sounds like a fun car when you're done. Only time I've ever been in one was as a passenger at an autocross.

Neat looking car. Kinda looks like the 70's era Maverick. If it's of the same body style, then a I-6 should fit. Personally, I'd put a 302 in it. Quick question. Is that a European car by chance?

Aussie?

Kinda looks like the car from Mad Max.

As for I6's, check out www.fordsix.com.
