Here's a little background info. I have an 84 Capri that was originally a 4 cylinder but the previous owner v8 swapped it. I have no idea whats actually done to the motor. But i do know a few people that have worked on the motor that's currently in my car. From all the information i could gather, Its an 88 roller motor, Stock heads with some valve spring work. has a ford b303 cam, a weiand brand intake and a Holley brand carb with BBK shorty headers. That being said, the car feels powerless on the bottom end. and I don't understand why.
I also have a bone stock 88 Mustang and it just seems so much quicker and funner to drive the only downside is, its not a four eye lol. But that's why I'm so confused.
Before I found out the little information i do have about my motor, I assumed it was stock aside from the B cam. Doing some research I was planning on buying this combo. Trickflow TW 170 heads, Weiand stealth intake, and a holly 650 with a Lunati 512/512 242/242 cam or Comp Cam 35-302-8.
Turns out... Like I said, I have a Weiand intake and a Holley carb already on the car. I'm not sure if they are the exact parts I was planning on buying... But if they are, I'm not impressed with it so far.
The Capri is going to be a street car. I was aiming for 350-400 HP with the combo I had selected. But i still want the car to throw you back in the seat and burn rubber.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
