BA XR6 engine into MK1 CAPRI

[andre3000]

Hi all,

Its time for a project and Iv got the oportunity to purchase an mk1 capri roller with no rust thats been tubbed. If purchased i want to put a BA XR6 engine along with transmission. This will be a budget build and i want the capri to look completely original inside and out apart from some large rubber on the rear.

What are your thoughts? How much would need to be chopped/ customised for it to fit in the small capri? Any feedback would be great. Has anyone done this before?

Cheers
