'83 Capri 351w Twin Turbo'd

This is my second attempt to build a web page. Please bear with me as I try to get things going. This is the index page. Each picture will get you to the story page. I built this website to help my fellow car nuts get the most from their cars and too show what can be done if you put your mind to it. Read the stories and enjoy. If you have any comments please email me so I can get this site as good as possible. PS. I am HTML stupid.

The Jamies.Stangnet.com Page

This has the basic Capri stuff plus all the '68 Ranchero5.0 EFI conversion stuff, my '68 Fairlane 500 stuff, '69 Mustang resto stuff,and the Fox body freebies stuff.

NEW CAR

'93 Lx 5.0 Page

This is my new commuter car, a '93 Calypso Corral hatch with a huge list of mods. This car could have been a show car for Ford Motorsport. Most of the mods were done in '94, including the Patxon SN-92 blower.

Finally got to run this car, made a 13.623 @ 105.44mph with a 2.2+ 60' on a heat soaked motor with hot lapping. It took seven tries to get it running straight and consistent. These runs were after driving it 60 miles from work in the Baltimore MD area to Mason dixon so I am happy.

The Capri Pages

This will take you from the old site and the basic stuff to this sites 351 work and turbocharger installs.

289 Head Porting Page

What I had to do to these PAW rebuilt '66 289 heads so they would work with the 351w for the Capri. Specificly opening the chambers up for the turbos, and reworking the ports for increased flow.
