Names Ernest and currently living in southern Ireland, had to join the forum due to compulsive shopping.
Have a mk3 Ford Capri which needs a clutch and some engine work and had an idea "if I put in a modern Japanese engine it will be more powerful, unleaded friendly,more economical, reliable and cheaper than fixing my own".
Went to my local breakers looking for ideas (he lets me wander around the yard) thinking of maybe 2.0 or 2.5 Toyota or Nissan.
Cue wandering round for maybe an hour and just leaving when I seen what I didn't know I was looking for.
Returned next morning and collected a 96 LS400 perfect apart from a broken parking light but I think was a government seized vehicle and has to be broken for parts.
Think I will go the full floor pan route like the Volvo Amazon in the projects section (might start my own thread).
Anyway I'm new to this Japanese stuff so any advice or ideas appreciated.
