    Capri 302 SBF 5.0 V8 151.7 MPH

    Engine is a 302 American Ford V8 with Edelbrock Alluminium Heads, Cam, Intake, Roller rockers, Eagle I beam rods etc. etc. around 3-350 BHP (not measured yet)
    Gearbox is a Tremec TR3550
    Axle is Atlas with LSD (Capri)with location kit
    Recaro seats from a Brooklands 280
    Wheels are 7x15 Compomotive ML's
    Brakes are Caprisport 280 Front and Cosworth rear
    Suspension Bilstein/AVO
    Colour is Cosworth Imperial Blue
    Classic Ford Mag tested us at Bruntingthorpe for either April or May's issue and I was quite pleased with 0-60 5.24, 0-100 11.45, 0-130 19.82, 1/4 13.70 @ 108 and was still climbing at 151.7 mph when the end of the runway was looming!

    That looks cracking mate. A credit to you Certainly doesn't look like there's a 5.0 V8 under the bonnet

    4 1/2 years since an update! This has been off the road since late '06 but hope to have it sorted soon.
    Some pics from today, it hasn't fared too badly, Brooklands trim has been sold and it is full of crap!
