Hi guys, this is my first time on your forum, previously I’ve been into replicas, my last was an AC Cobra running a 3.5 V8. My latest project is a 1984 1.6 Ford Capri.....I can hear groans from here🤔the reason I’ve joined your forum is that I’m in the process of replacing the 1.6 pinto with a 3.0 v6 from an S type and I’m hoping for some support with the electrics as ECU’s are all new to me. I’m used to working with carburettors.

Welcome to the forums Old school,
I remember the difference between a 1.6 Capri and the 3.0 litre when they were current so that should make an interesting transformation. The electronics will be a challenge but all the infomation needed will be found in the model forum. Think of it as putting a Capri body on an S-Type and that will get you in the right mindset.![Icon Lol](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
Follow this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/s...ed-v8-x200-15/ to the S-Type forum for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for information on regular issues. You can also use the UK & Eire Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/uk-eire-68/ to find other members in your region.
Please read the guidance for new members ( https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...ned-up-241802/ ) which answers many of the most frequent questions about getting started.
Enjoy the forums and good luck with your project.
