Having said that, putting a 302 in a falcon is alot cheaper than into a capri. The gearbox wont bolt up. You need to strengthen the body (I believe, well the Perena's were strengthened) and Im not sure if the firewall needs recessing.

Decide what you want... a fast street car, or something with stupid amounts of tarmac shredding hp?

If you just want a fast streeter, find the car that is about as fast as you want. Work out its hp/kg, then find an engine that will give you a similar (slightly higher ;)) result. Put that puppy in and presto - what you wanted.

u can make a 3.9 a 4.0 by grinding off the lil ridge in the head that fukin simple as done it a few times now, if u gonna put in a 4ltr tho migbht as well make it own and xr6t it , just read up about a 1000hp street driven one (when i say street driven i mean no low rpm probs)

eeeerrrr, how does that change the capacity? :?

nothing you do to the head will increase cubic capacity. if anything decrease compression. xr6t wud be cool tho, awsum engine.

are you sure there is a ridge in the combustin chamber part of head (between intake & exhuast valves) and by getting rid of that im sure it increases acapacity as there is more free space , i could be wrong tho im not a engine guru btw this is on a carbied engine

Doesnt change how far the psitons move tho or how big the bore is so doesnt change capacity. It will drop compression more than likely.

To change the capacity you can either increase/decrease the bore size by boring it and use larger/smaller pistons. Or you can increase the stroke by using 1. a differant crank or 2. longer or shorter rods.
