1969 FORD CAPRI - PART 125 - KATE MADE 153BHP @ THE ROLLERS!!

This was filmed a month or so ago, before putting kate to bed for the winter.
She made 153 BHP at about 6200rpm which is pretty good going to be honest.
We're all chuffed to bits that she held together, as listening to that engine screaming is not relaxing :D
Big thanks to Chris Holland from RRS Rolling road services, and all of you who support us on here. You guys make a difference :)
Kate is a nippy classic car, and a lot of fun to drive in.
Big carbs and back to the rollers it is for us & Kate next year, stay tuned!

Hi Mano and team. It would great to see an update video of the goings on at your lockup.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Its more like a workshop. I am filming at the present time, and will endeavor to publish in the next 2-3 weeks. Thanks for your interest 🙂 👍🏼

[@pauldoherty7608]

Great result dudes, that stable still has most of its horses

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks buddy, a few more in there somewhere I reckon. We'll see 👀

[@onetruecharlatan]

From 0 HP, driven by a BFH and a lump of wood with no cylinder head, to 153 Bald Eagles is a mighty impressive leap Manno. Merry christmas to you, Gav, Tony and all the other boys that have laid hands on Kate. Here's to 2024 and her adventures on the road.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you very much, puts things into perspective that does :) Merry Christmas to you too buddy, and thanks a TON!! Emmanuel :)

[@djm9937]

And finally caught up. Looking forward to the next episode. What a great job you guys have done on this beauty !

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks for supporting our efforts buddy! 😊😍

[@Kevmac332]

In layman's terms.... it goes like shit of a shovel 😂... seriously well done gents... all of you that have done your bit on kate.... absolutely Awesome 👌

[@ianmitchell4231]

Kate is running really well you guys did a fantastic job, well done.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you!

[@crissyb00]

Wow Kate sounds amazing. She's come so far thanks to you guys. Can't wait to see what next for her!

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Glad you enjoyed, thanks 😊

[@MartsGarage]

Well done Mano and Gav. Ol' Kate is a proper goer! All the best, Mart.

[@FrenkIgotOne]

She runs real good 😃👍🍀

[@Classiccarbscouk]

She does, and we think there is more smoothness and efficiency somewhere in there

[@iporcupinetree]

Love the look of the engine, extractors look crazy, sound is the best i mean its a chaff cutter considering a stock old 1.8 corolla is about 132hp not about hp... about sound and power to weight

[@6896mcand]

Very impressive!

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you :)

[@philtucker1224]

(When you consider the early Essex stock V6 lumps knocked out 140 bhp on a good day) those figures are excellent !

[@oaktree3278]

Well done guys, all that hard work and what a result, so pleased for you, you've all earnt it, nice one 😊👍

[@AliMackMechanical]

You built a great engine, Mano and Team brilliant. Merry Christmas to you all 🎉👌💪👍

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks Ali!! Merry Christmas to you & Tina 💖

[@grahamhider3754]

Fantastic ❤🚗

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you 🤗

[@rontalbert4507]

From where Kate started as a rolling junk yard to the Car she is now you boys should be very proud of yourselves. That's a nice screaming little engine a 153 BHP Well done Manny to you and your entire team and a merry Christmas

[@LOVE2RC]

But it's not the same car this is what I don't get when someone rebuilds a car back to new condition all new parts and the amount of the original car that has been cut off it isn't the same car Kate is basically a pile of scrap metal now sitting in a junk yard new floor pan's new sills new roof new front end new rear-end 🤔 where is the original car now 😂

[@rontalbert4507]

@@LOVE2RC Kate is the same car. the body is the same although the car does have numerous Patch panels the floor pans, fenders, quarter panels, doors Etc. are original to the car. True the engine, trans. differential are replaced and it's been turned into a right hand drive with rectangle headlights We still have to consider that the main components are original so Kate IS the same car. If you must, call Kate a Restomod (Restored and Modified) Better than New.

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

From the days of that seized lump, and many hours of spannering 😊, great stuff, sounds ace 👍🏻

[@aussienebula8331]

Rest well Kate youve come a long way, from flatbed to screaming your heart out on the rollers.lol Great job Dudes. Cheers.🍻

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thank you 😊

[@AmalgamationofMan]

I always enjoy the updates guys. The exhaust note sounds great ! Gets me excited to put mine on the dyno.

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thanks! Yep it gets exciting listening to the revs build up 👍

[@DJDinaggio]

Nice job. That's more power than a stock 3.0L Essex V6 and nearly as much as the 2.8L Cologne V6. .

[@peterjones4785]

Good work guys

[@Classiccarbscouk]

Thats an astounding result, you need to think of what would be considered a powerful engine at the time kate was a girl.
