Caprisport 24Vpage

24V Cosworth V6

The Cosworth 24V is now one of the most popular conversions and for good reason.

These engines have never been more affordable and the results are spectacular.
The information gathered here is just a taste of what can be achieved with the right parts.
Yes - there are short-cuts - take a look at the various forums if you want to cut corners
but don't bring the resulting problems to us.

The simple rules for a reliable swap

Use the engine how Ford intended with the oxygen sensors and the speed sensor.

Use a radiator much the same size as the Granada item - not the old Capri rubbish.

Fit a gearbox and clutch that will handle the power and torque - not the type 9

This car was built by a club member using all the right bits
and a little help and information from us
It could well be the best one you will see.


	This is a MK2 built at Caprisport	The now famous - Blue Mk 1
xxx

	Out at last - free from the catalysts, EGR nonsense and autobox.	As removed fron the Granada It's a lot of work to get it out but well worth the effort
xxx

	The MT 75 Hybrid gearbox. Yes you can use a type 9 but not if you want it to last.	In the boot or in the wing - your choice
xxx

	This is a Twin Cam box with a 4x4 front cover fitted. This will not work so check carefully when you buy.	Note the length of the input shaft This is what it should look like - the familiar Cologne family long input shaft
xxx

	This is what they look like fitted The cat cans are used but empty	Note also - an exhaust system that fits properly. No - you can't buy it - we have to make it to fit the car
xxx

	Shift remote shortened to suit the Capri A quick-shift joint is also recomended	Want to use the lighter 2.8 flywheel? Add this kit to your gearbox to solve the problems.

	The best results seem to be with a short inlet and large filter. The Samco hose is easily available	Cut the filter adapter from the original Granada air box

	We use this same radiator and fan system for both 12 & 24V cars. It's a Sierra rad from DOHC or 4x4 and the fans are Sierra or Granada DOHC Note the small cut-out for the bottom hose.	We use the original 4x4 bottom hose and our own top hose with the thermoswitch for the rad fans.
