Default BMW V8 into Ford Capri

Have a look at my website if you've ever wondered about putting a BMW V8 into a ford capri. Maybe the thought has vaguely crossed your mind when you were on the loo one day, or at the end of a heavy night's drinking...

What a beast! Love it pal.

What's it like to drive then? I imagine it's a real handful. Also, what sort of budget would you be looking at for this to be done?

You should be proud

well you could get an bmw e34 540 for under 800 pound for a bad one and then i dont no how much to fit .. i have an 540 auto with this engine and its no slow bus when you kick it down it will wheel spin in second and wheel spin off the line and thats in auto forum.. the capri is light so im guesing it would be a well nice street weapon.. 200bhp in a capri was an handfull...

Yeah capri's weren't amazing at handling when standard, I bet it's fun keeping this capri going in a straight line or around bends

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I like capri's and I have a 540 bm with 6 speed box.

Looks like enough room for a supercharger aswell to push beyond 400bhp!!

Got me thinking now lol.
