am sure you can use pistons from a 2.8 capri engine to get to a 2.1 displacement

Thanks for the replies, ideally id rather not go down the Cologne route as quite a bit of machining is needed from what ive heard. I currently dont have any Connecting rods so im after those aswell. Its a standard crank. Bore is 93mm
Cheers

Dave Powell just off the Hull Rd, behind The Windmill near Elvington. Great guy to deal with and he can source pretty much anything.
