Actually.

A chap I know has an old capri (twin webber 40s or something) he said he will shove some of these webber 40 carbs on and port the head, bigger valves etc.

I'm wondering what sort of power is attainable from that engine? Without turbo'ing etc.

Sills and jacking points as nimmiz said. Check all the usual for cars. These cars are getting old now so anything can be wrong, theres been enough time for the some back repairs etc, just make sure you look out for things and you'll be safe. They are great cars and no major design faults

Ah ok ...

Also check for rotten spring cups and theres alot around that have been messed around alot. My advice would be to get an unmolested one, but not necessarily a mint one.

Where are going to uni?

Stafford.

So apart from rusty spring cups (i'm guessing the front) what other things should I look out ...

Hi guys!

Here's the deal I'm off to uni and I would like to get hold of a 340 or 360 I'm not entirely sure of the differences so bear with me :)

The 1.7 version is the one I'm looking for, to save time this is essentially what my plans are.
