I really wanted to bring it back to the US, but it was too expensive to make the conversion. I'v never seen another one like it.

Bob; some of the US military personell in Europe did. Or some got themselves a US- spec Capri when they got home....(The Europen built Capri was so popular in the US that they had to stop importing it in 76 as they needed sales for the Mustang II to move up.... It shared the 2.8V6 with the Capri, but the Capri was lighter & quicker. After a Couple of years the new "US" Capri- model arrived, based on the Mustang)I have been chatting alot over the years wit Capri- owners in the US, and even made some friends!


Anyway: Now comes what I started off to do an hour or so ago....

Jac-Mac: You & your scetch are 100% correct and my friend is noe longer to trust (because he has to much air under the bonnet). After 1 day of driving, on road and track, I did not even get a tiny glimpse of the piece of rag hanging down from a piece of duct-tape in the centre of the hole where the rear end of the scoop used to be.

It is a high pressure zone. (And I will fill it in with fibreglass, as it used to be.)

I'm using the single K & N type of filters on my 8 stack. Some of the screen type can be too fine and rob HP and others are too open and can suck in debris.

On "Motortrend TV" channel on youtube had a 613 HP Hemi and on the dyno the screen brought it down to something like 460 HP. If I can find the vid I'll post it.

With the K & N oval type I had, I put a fair amount of the spray oil , and it choked the TQ & HP by 20 & 25. Lesson, spray them lightly !

Ok, found the video. It's about 14:00 minutes in.

When I get my new engine and trans in the car, I'll test my fabric type on the engine and off, on my friends chassis dyno then post the results. With winter coming I don't know when that will be.

I prefer to run one large rectangular airfilter like from R2C meant for a sprintcar.

Another option for hood clearance is a rectangular from K&N of about 2 inch height.

Can 8 individual filter elements flow the required demand per cylinder at the on/off rate compared to the demand through a grouped airfilter element?

itg air filters. Have on csx car, air horns have to be trimmed a little, twm 58 mm fuel injection. Was lots of pictures with foam on and off but cant find now, would like to find old pictures where car was on Kroyer dyno because you can click on them and goes to full size.
