A 351W would probably fit easier, but just wouldn't have the same torque as the Cleveland.

Re: Capri project
I love it. Can't wait to see it painted. Well done.

im sure they will love it.The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this, now if your lucky ? you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go !
Re: Capri project
Really love this one, as I myself live in Norway it's nice too see that someone coming from another country where cars are hated by the government can actually start such an ambitious project. I would rather have started out with a Granada/Consul 72-74 coupe myself as it's closer to the right size and roof shape, but using the rear bumper of one helps alot 
Re: Capri project
That is awesome. I've always had a special love for the Capri, and at one point considered buying a third generation V6 model when I was still living in Holland. But I've considered buying many a car, including the illuster XB's. It just never happens because A: money and B: place of my own to work on it.
Can't wait to see it with some paint. We'll be expecting some video's of the beast when it's done naturally!

Re: Capri project
This is really cool, and a lot of work & craftsmanship. Don't see many FORD Capris here in the states anymore, especially MKI & II. I wanted one of those real bad when I was young, gonna put the European headlights & bosy kit on it....never came to pass.

Re: Capri project
Well, well, well....
It's been a busy year moving to the US and trying to get business going so my project has seen very little progress. But now, after a trip to the local sheriff I've got my lic.plate and will be able to do the final adjustments before it hits the paint shop.
I have put a couple of vid's on Youtube:

I'll post some pic's when it's painted.
