Hey guys,
last fall i picked this up as a motor donor for my mx-3. however rather than just steal it's heart and scrap it I thought i would install a spare sohc b6 i had sitting around and see if anybody wanted to use it as a gas sipping sunny day driver, or at least a driveable car that somebody else could swap their own spare turbo motor back into. Anyway I was hoping to get it back together before winter and then sell it for $1500 or so locally, but some things came up and i haven't worked on it in a while, so if there's any interest I'd let it go as is for $1k obo.

Oh I almost forgot, I have a sweet set of wheels for it too, they're on ebay, not sure if linking to the auction is frowned upon.

Wow, probably the only Capri in the US with a SOHC engine. Props for not trashing the body, looks like a good car.
Would be a gas sipper for sure. What transmission did you end up using?
Welcome to the forum, good luck with the sale!
-
it's still got the stock tranny, and to be honest i'd sell it with the turbo motor if someone really wanted it. It seemed like a good donor at the time, but I'm not sure if my mx-3 is going to be an easy swap.
-
I think thats a great swap. And a fine asking price for a straight good running convertible.
Did the XR2 intermediate shaft bolt up to the block, or was the angle a tad off ?
**EDIT** It looks like the 'stock' x3 Tranny. Ok.

Shouldn't be too difficult?
Escort GT passenger mount, maybe modded a bit
Escort GT transmissions + axles so they bolt into your hubs (have to mod the intermediate shaft)
XR2 flywheel + clutch (egt would work too)
Shift linkage should bolt up, if not be very close
Electrical bits, the XR2 harness isn't really that complicated. Run the stock MX3 Start/Charge harness so the fusebox stays the same
-
yeah, the wiring is what worries me, the capri harness is way different than the ones in my mazdas.

shaft bolted right up.

There's a B6T wiring guide on FordFestiva.com - I believe there's only 9 wires needed to run the engine. You'll probably have to register:

-
thanks for the link, that looks doable. any idea which wires are needed to make the b6-me work in the capri? i've got it to crank, but no fuel or spark.
-
Not a clue, I've never touched the B6. Maybe post on FordFestiva - there's a fair number of them swapped & running the single cammer B6's over there
-
any chance you know what all the other wires do in that big plug from the wiring for dummies thread? I'm apparently dumber than average with wiring. (https://scontent-1.2914.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/10365814_10101970149736060_8688147164286276227_n.jpg)

need this gone, too many projects. $700 obo I'd hate to have to scrap it.
-
$600? just picked up a project Miata, getting close to part and scrap time, anybody need anything?
-
If you were closer, I'd be all over it! Still have the wheels?
-
Sorry, the wheels just sold on ebay a few days ago. How close are you? AAA will tow you 200 miles if you're a gold member.
-
You are parting it out, is that right? How, many miles on it? Are you willing to ship anything?
-
I'd prefer to sell whole, but I can part it out if need be, shipping is no problem as long as the parts aren't too big. mileage is something like 105k i think?
-
Did you sell? and does it run? or just almost
-
I have not sold, and I have not gotten it to run. Although I haven't been to my dad's place to work on it recently either. It should be a simple matter of matching the wiring harnesses together, but I can't seem to find the proper diagrams, and am really having a hard time getting them hooked up.
-
https://post.craigslist.org/manage/4604875918 still avialable, need gone asap. too many projects. I will scrap this next weekened. all offers over scrap value will be considered. $400 takes it for sure.
-
Again, pic it probably from FB, doesn't show up on my page.
and the craigslist url is your site to manage/edit, not for us.
