rs turbo engine in capri
hey all my mate just bought another capri with no engine in and ive got a spare rs turbo engine floating around anybody know whats needed to fit a cvh into a capri?
i know they did sierra's with cvh engines so is it possible to adapt the mounts or crossmember?
also would i need a sierra cvh sump?

You might have to drill the block for the RWD mounts ? and the downpip/turbo will probably be in the way of those as well ?
