Never trust a man
Who names himself Trevor.
Or one day you might find
He's not a real drug dealer.

Ironically a lot of XR4x4 owners want to convert to rwd Cheers mate, Missed that one. I'm not sure why you would need to change the inner wings etc as the Cross member ofr say a 2.8 would allow a 2.8xr4x4 to bolt straight in surely? The Running gear is mainly supported by the sump and the struts (also swapped from the donor XR) or am i missing something major? (been a while since i saw underneath an XR Sierra! |

running about round here, seriously blacked out
windows, looks awful, i know the owner, used to work
at one of the local scrappies.
he's planning a stretched limo capri next.

I think it's all to do with the front prop out the transfer box to the front diff. Not sure. I would also guess that when you put a YB in the Capri the turbo and downpipe might foul the inner wing on the drivers side. |

true.. but if only going for a 2.9 24V at most, then in theory it might work..
Am going to see if i can find some pics of teh 4x4 system from underneath to get a better idea.

Oh.....kayyyyyye! there was one I think only as a special Fordie thing, Ferguson enhgineerd thingie. Ford campaigned the 3-litre Capri in Rallycross in about 1970, which was fitted with the Ferguson 4WD system as fitted to some special police-spec Zephyr Mk4's at the time. Think they were later fitted with an experimental fuel injection as well, but the whole project wasn't a great success They were driven by Roger Clark and his brother Stan. Can't find a pic of it other than a Corgi model!!! |
