Re: Wanted - Ford Essex V6 3.4 Litre Intake Manifold

Re: Cortina bakkie newbie questions..
I would rather see that Ford running a bow tie V8 than a lexus. To fit the lexus, you would need to change a lot more to make it run. Electricals, fuel delivery To run the 302, minor mods to be made. a stock 302 will be able to run on the stock fuel lines. basically just plumbing, motor mounts, exha...

Re: V8 ford capri project
That axle also seems to be a bakkie one, the shocks would mount on the bracket clamping the leafs. One can always get a bearing kit, and check the crown&pinion for wear, new oil and seals, 4x108 side shafts and all this you can probably get from Interspares. Can always do a disc brake conversion?
