brings back memories,I put a 2.8 capri motor in my transit race transporter, made a huge difference compared with the stock 1.6.

How's it handle with that much power? Sounds scary as fuck to me!

It's awesome Si. I loved this van and probably shouldn't have sold it but meh.... It sits a little lower in the front due to the weight of the engine/box but it's almost like a big gocart as far as handling goes.

I only ran it to 160ish but that was loaded with furniture and other crap and it felt well planted at that speed with a little extra weight.....
