toyota supra turbo, old 7mgte engine. its smooth and will make that old rust box capri a screaming sideways machine with a twsh twsh!!
Cosworth V6 for ease, but to be honest, when a V8 will fit, it'd be rude not to
Especially when you see the prices for yank V8 parts, I was reading in PPC that it's £4 for a piston for a Ford 302 !
Capri's are just waiting for V8's. The rover v8 goes straight in doesnt it?
My Zetec I have for sale

what about replicating the
Australian piranha Capri.

It wouldn't sound right with a rotary. LS1 or 6 would be my choice. LS7 if funds allow!
