i assume you need +442 cos you're a big guy? so thats not a choice really. And the pinto is as good an engine as any really, horses for courses.
You could argue/discuss engines all day and never find a consensus.
So just go for it, you'll love it!

Is the Capri axle +4" or +2" relative to the escort?
I should know- but I've forgotten!
If it's +2" then you'll need extra-narrow arches and might have a problem with the trailing arms hitting the wheels.
If it's +4" then you're ok but be prepared for maybe harder work when sourcing your bodywork with a wider chassis.
HTH,
