      • Went to the junkyard and got a 93 capri bottom end.


        Long nose crank, building the "race" engine. Anyone got an alternator pulley for this, someone had grabbed it before I got to it.

        • In the 2 years I've been going to the yard I don't think I've ever seen a capri at the yard. sad (but good I guess)

          are there any compatible ones off another engine I could look for?

                There are half a dozen capris in the yards here in phoenix just about all the time. They must have sold well here. I'm not completely sure what is compatible, a later (long crank) festiva pulley may work. It's a good question if anyone can enlighten us.

                          A well deserved rest !!! You should treat it to a can of additive or something.

                          • Picked up aset of Aspire buckets today. Not too dirty, I vacumed them , & gonna use upholstery cleaner on them. Only hitch is one of the phillips screws that hold the back on is buggered up, will need to get a striped screw extracter set.
                            If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!
