Yep my brother is an oddball. He stuck one in a Mk1 Escort as well, my Consul was manual stock, but the Capri had a Transit Diff to handle the hassle

Paddy Hopkirk were black with Gold "Hockey stick" and a fibreglass whale tail on the boot.
He did drag a Mk2 Green 3.1RS capri dropped 16 second standing quarters at our run what you brung.
His Piece de resistance was abeaten up combi with the flat 6 3.0 Turbo out of the 911 he wrecked, that was an eyeopener at lights
