    Default 83 Capri RS Project

    I bought this 83 Mercury Capri the day after Christmas 08.
    The Day I brought it home, It needed a new Core Support and put back together. The front Clip is just held on by a couple bolts, The interior was complety stripped out of it, the carpet was only thing left in.




    Core Support Installed



    Interior installed but missing a couple parts. It's all coming back out to be color matchd to the new paint.




    Front Clip installed to check fit before core suppor weld up and off to the body shop.

    Im hoping I can locate a 5.0 HO Roller Motor, I have some Prototype Iron GT40P Heads that I aquired from a Saleen engineer that he claims will make more HP than the Aluminum Twisted Wedges. It currenty has a 85 Non Roller out of a Grand Marquis.

    All Im looking for the first year is something that I can throw these heads and Victor JR intake on so I really just need a good short block. Next winter the motor will come back out and get a total rebuild, I aquired a Dual Quad set up from my bro. So I will build it for that with a little stroke to it.
