i have a 1974 capri gt, original 2.0l but now has a 2,8 V6 and a 5 speed, this is the only Capri in my country (Iceland) the thing is that I want to put a 5.0l ford (302) and að T5 in it, do you guys have any expirience, any pictures, information?
what do I need to do to fit the engine and gearbox, and what að about the rear axle?

Axle will be fine, the small block ford fits nicely.
Get a copy of PPC Practical Performance Car, as Will Holman the editor has this in his
mk1 capri, all the build etc can be followed from the website of PPC.

thank you for your answer

but what about motor mounts, and will I have to cut the boddy to fit the transmission?l
do you know if I can do a brake swap, disks in rear, and if I can change to 5 lug wheels?
