Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / January 2005Capri 302 perana
Just watched a old capri racing, and had no idea that Capri's were shipped to South Africa and the V6 removed and a 302 V8 installed and renamed to Ford Capri Perana. Has any one ever heard of this ?? Peter >Just watched a old capri racing, and had no idea that Capri's were shipped >to South Africa and the V6 removed and a 302 V8 installed and renamed to >Ford Capri Perana. Has any one ever heard of this ?? Yes, You will an article on them in a recent edition of Australian Muscle Car. Thanx mate, makes me wonder now if it would be legal to do that modification here in Australia > Just watched a old capri racing, and had no idea that Capri's were shipped > to South Africa and the V6 removed and a 302 V8 installed and renamed to > Ford Capri Perana.

It's been a 10 year project so far due to laziness. Jist of it so far with engineers is: 5 stud conversion Four wheel disc brakes Chassis kit 302 Windsor only Thats so far. Engineers don't seem to want to allow a 302/351 Cleveland in one yet Clevo's were in cars of the same era. The capri we're doing is a original 1972 V6 GT. It had personal touches via the owner so a v8 won't hurt it's originality. Trust me.

Has any one ever heard of this ?? There was a few South African imports available here a little while ago, one being advertised on ebay. They made very few of them. -- Regards, Noddy.
