Capri V8 Conversion Parts
Posted: Fri May 08, 2026 2:58 pm
Hi all,
First time poster here so hope I've used the correct section.
I currently own a 1984 Ford Capri 2.0S. The car needs a fair amount of work to the front end to return it to a drive able state and so because of my love of V8's I've decided to look into doing a conversion.
As I understand it, many companies in the past have manufactured conversion kits or mounts to assist with this however, it appears many of these companies are no longer around nor make these kits anymore.
Does anyone have any of these parts or kits which they no longer require? I would ideally like to use a Ford Windsor 302, but would also consider using a Rover V8 as they're easy to find and gain parts.
Thanks in advance.
