I bot the 82 from 5.8SLEEPER (Orangeville) on GTAMC this summer for a street beater, it's caged & tied, 1/2 assed built 351W, stock C-4 (junk), 4.10's. Everything was supposed to be brand new rebuilt, but I spun the main & rod bearings within 200 miles, which may have a good thing cuz the convertor fell out of it when it came apart. Now the new engine from the 86 Capri (racecar) is in it just to see how it will run, this combo livened the car up a tad : fresh 351W, 30 over, (357), 9-1 forged dished pistons, Comp hyd roller, 576 lift & 244 duration, Ultra Pro Magnum 1.6 RR's, Dart Pro1, 195cc heads, Vic Jr. & 825 Demon, 1 3/4 BBK LT's, MSD box, 2 step etc. The C-4 is a PA SuperComp equivalent, reverse valve, trans brake etc., freshened by Jack @ Sepanek Racing Trans, he hooked me up with Frank Lupos @ Dynamic Convertors & they decided (based on the build specs) to stall the convertor @ 5000 (yikes!!). The 8.8 in the racecar has a spool, 33 spline Strange axles, c-clip elim, anti-roll bar, adjustable uppers etc. (changes expected). The body is gettin blasted, lookin for glass hood, doors, hatch & lexan windows & ?? Hope to have the car ready for the engine & trans by this summer.
Did you think this might be ZM's missing Capri?

There lexan... we have to run that stuff on the track... I'll check the shop for spare sheets of it if your looking for the side windows to. We only use windshields... And like I said, they have to be lexan
