[quote TE1BD8B3M9512BZF]Mark, the various Ford Perana models were natural fits for the larger 'V' motors. Did you previously mention having a V8 Capri? Mustangs must have had more special editions than most or all others. It helps that the basis was/is not a sow's ear.[/quote] Correct AAACV8. I was so inspired by Basil's Mk1 Windsor V8 Capri I built my own 'Oastler Special Vehicle' (LOL) years ago. Windsor 302, Borg Warner single-rail four-speed etc. The V8 drivetrain had plenty of room and fitted so well you'd swear the Mk1 Capri was designed for it. My 'OSV' Capri V8 was very light (1000kg) and very fast, just like Basil's Peranas! Wish I didn't sell it because the new owner wrote it off.
