Mk1 Capri V8 (newbie 1st post)

Post by BudgieV8 »

Hi people.
Thanks to V8ian for pointing me towards this site - looks good! 8)
I've been into V6 Capris for many years but the ultimate one I always wanted was a Mk1 V8. :D
Just got it 2 weeks ago & I am cracking on with the wiring (as I bought it unwired).
Hopefully pick up some tips on here :wink:

1970 Capri Mk1 3.5V8 (SD1)
Currently running SU's, but a Holley 390 & Offenhauser to be fitted shortly. Wheels are for sale as I'm putting some '70's Wolfy Slotmags on & the SU & manifold setup & K&N cone filters will be up for grabs as well.

& my V6 Capri Mk1 for your amusement..

Fantastic,
The MK1 Capris are the best looking by far and with free road tax, how can you better it? 8)
Good luck with the wiring
Sometimes i ask myself, why do i bother? Then she starts up and everything becomes clear.....
