Hey, takes time when money is tight.


Too bad money doesn't grow on trees.

Ok, so here's the deal.

I bought the other 91 capri so I could invest more planning on the project capri. And I've come to a point where I'm not sure where to go with it.

I could either swap my FMIC setup to my dd keep the motor trans and ect for spares for it and keep it slightly modded

Then I could be open to a number of motor swaps into the project capri

Thoughts I had are

2.0 zetec turbo or supercharged
Small block v8 either LT1 or a 302 either or turbo or supercharged
Or possible other canidates.

So what would you guys like to see?

I could always do the 1.6 as well, but I want this capri to be different.

Throw out your opinions!

SR20DET.....

They made it so it can be set up to a FWD, AWD or RWD...

So many options

Long term for me is to get a 94 and play with it with this....

But the DSM has to be looking pretty before i can do it...so it will be a while

Small V6 will be taken care of in short order, and not in the way you'd expect either
