MK3 Capri 2.0 into 24v cosworth,

when i stripped the 2.8 it only had 2 bolts in the xmember,

i don't think you need to add the 3rd fixing, but i will check before i fit the engine.

thanks, for the info want this to be as easy as possible.

i just need to drill the 2.8 xmember out should be fine.

ive cleaned up the gearboxes today



the gearlever has come out of the 4 cylinder box and i cant get it back in :cursing:/>



and also removed the egr stuff and blocked it off



this is what I'm planning if i cant get a decent 2.8 tank



thanks

its too late now ive ripped it all off,

I'm going from this though with what to do, hopefully it will run well.

hi,

i did see that but its quite expensive,

ill just fit something similar to this, just need to check sizes

thay have some adaptors for using a 2.8 flywheel, i don't see why you need them though

don't know why those pics say there deleted as there still in the photobucket account.

stripped of the front suspension today, old shocks had no resistance to them,

not the best weather but had a day off and didn't want to waste it

No turning back now

Front suspension re fitted from the donor, brake pipes and rear disc bias valve fitted

Should be fun

My caprisport gtr 260 brakes don't fit over the alloy hubs, so a little bit of grinding is in order, it's only about 1mm too big.

Removed the battery tray, so a quick dusting if crystal green where it was in needed.

I can't get the gear lever out of the mt75 box which is annoying, and need to strip the exhaust and prop off mine, looking at an interior change too.

Going to make this how I want it, just hope I don't go too far of budget.
