You are gonna have some fun with this one
Hi everyone
Quick intro,
Im from England (UK) and due to the fact we build small engines, over the last year I have got a 454 chevy engine and ancillaries a TH400 gearbox and a 10 bolt axle, I have now purchased a 1971 Ford Capri and That little lot is going to go in to it, After stripping the 454 I have found the crank to be in poor condition I would say it was re-shelled as it looks like its knocked out rod number 3.
