Hi guys,

I'm looking to contributing to the forum. I don't have a Bronco but a UK Capri with a cologne engine in Oz.

Regards

Kev
Hi Kev,
Welcome to TRS. We're like a big dysfunctional family.
We can also help out once in awhile.
Also any pics of your unit would be nice, I'm not sure what a UK Capri looks like. What size cologne are you running?

Hi guys

Pls see pic attached. It's not mine but I have the same. I have a 2.8efi block stroked to 3.5 (I think they used the 4.0 crank) it's a turbo T4 potato designed for track work , broad power band. I thought that would be more enjoyable to drive with a T5 gearbox. Has custom pistons and shot pinned rods. The oil pan has custom baffles running a wolf v500 ECU. Custom electronic disy - made from standard 2.8 Bosch and AU ford falcon electrics. Individual coils, lengthened plenum chamber 4 bolt mains etc Just putting together now.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
That looks really good. I can picture that at the local drag strip.

looks good. :icon_thumby: it's been a while since I've seen one.

I'm in the "rust belt" and those cars just disappeared about 25 years ago.:sad:

Yes well they were never sold in Oz and being an original Technics Turbo (Ford approved engine upgrade) it's the only one here to my knowledge. It's been under covers for 9 years and I'm now in a position to get her back on the road.

That thing is definitely cool.
