I got a long block with just block and head... no manifold , carb or distributor.
I also got a rear sump block less the pan but it was modified for a Model A conversion and one of the bellhousing mounts was cut off the block
The capri block seems to be in good condition with no ridge in the cyllenders. I have a couple of spare distributors as well.
I do plan to need to bore to about .030 and have the crank turned..
But when I got my car, the previous owner had replaced the carb and distributor and I reworked both, rejetted the carb and added pertronix ign., modified the cam pulley to advance the cam about 4 degrees.
I plan to do the rebuild pretty much stock but i have a pair of SU carbs from.a 74 mgb that i will be building a manifold for.
I am aware of the potential of the 2.0. Back in the early 80s i had a 4 spd capri and redid the engine with about 10:1 compression, isk 465×310 cam, header, mallory dual pt dist, holly 390 cfm 4bbl and it would do 7000 rpm...
I just want a fresh engine to serve as a daily driver, dont want to break drivetrain parts, and keep the factory engine for the grandkids..
