Very very basic - ecumaster det3 in its so called fuel implant (standalone) mode + ford edis6 system for ignition, det3 controls the edis module.

And a biiig blow off valve before the throttle :P check facebook.com/madmodsgarage, there is an album with this car. Unfortunetely, this capri doesn't run any more, sold the engine (100% ok), built some other projects. I still have the chassis, but years went by, and it's slowly returning to mother earth ;P

Is the Explorer 4.0 engine bolt on? What about the gearbox? Does the t9 fit bolt on?
@madmodsgarage1179 Жыл бұрын
Kinda bolt on but not exactly. Right side engine mount (v6) is 100% bolt on, this gives You correct engine position to modify or fabricate left side (stock v6 doesnt fit engine block bolt pattern). 4.0 oil sump needs to be cut and welded to make room for granada subframe. Or you can use 2.9 sump, most bolt holes line up, but some not, and mounting flange is wider in some places, I think its much better to cut and weld 4.0 aluminium sump. Then You will probably get some hood clearance issues with stock intakce manifold. Plastic one is a little bit shorter, but still very close or slightly hitting the hood. Yes, type 9 gearbox and all v6 flywheels is 100% bolt on, but with torque of that engine and granada weight, I doubt it would last long...

I think the tappets need adjusting. 3 litre Essex engines should run quieter than that.
@madmodsgarage11792 жыл бұрын
Yeah, could be, I don't remember how loud they were in real life, this was couple years ago, not my car. Also, phone mics do this, extremely amplify high pitch noises under the hood/bonnet. Could have been all good in fact but can't tell for sure now. In EFI cars for example, all you hear in the vid is incjectors clicking :)
@FirstOnRaceDayCapri29045 ай бұрын
Mine sounds exactly like that with the tappets adjusted to what the Haynes manual says, Essex V6s don't run right with the tappets too tight it's better to leave them to factory settings or even a bit loose.

This was our favourite ‘Cortina’ at London’s Ace Cafe today. Had a good chat with its owner. How many of the commenters on here have seen this car in the flesh? We have a couple of bog standard classics (1983 Lancia, 1989 Merc) but wouldn’t occur to me to criticise the treatment of this car; it’s very cool. Keep it up Mad Mods.
