302 Ford 2V
I am looking for some input and advice from anyone running (or who has played with) the 302 Ford 2V combos. I've recently picked up an early 1980's Capri and looking to run as a1982 Capri in Q or R.
I know there are a few such combos in division 6 and I have some questions and need some recommendations. Any help appreciated. Thanks,

Re: 302 Ford 2V
Stick only based on the guide, your aware of this correct? As for getting the car to min weight that should not be an issue at all. These are lighter than the newer cars, but you will still need to remove anything not needed to get there.
Sorry no help here on the 2v engine though. Sean

Re: 302 Ford 2V
Sean is correct for NHRA. IHRA allows you to run an automatic, last time I checked. I think the hardest part to find is going to be the correct intake. Since you have an early fox body, you could update the body to run any combo from 82 to 86. I think about the only thing you might have to change would be a few trim pieces, 86 would require a 3rd brake light bubble hatch. There might be some differences in the front facia and tail lights year to year.

Re: 302 Ford 2V
The Capris had pretty much the same body from 1979 thru 1982. In 83, Capris went from a flat hatch glass to a larger, "Bubble shaped" rear glass. Also the 83 thru 86 Capris had recesed tail lights. compared to the flush lights on earlier cars. 79 had a 302 2 barrel, 80 & 81 , no 302, only V8 has a 255 with tiny ports. 82 had the 2 barrel "HO" engine, with a bigger carb and cam. 83&84 302s used the 4 barrel carb,with a stick, an automatic was available, with only with the CFI throttle body EFI. 85 stick had a 302 4 barrel, now with a hyd. roller cam, auto, again with CFI. 86 had a multiport EFI, both stick and auto, but with a smaller throttle body and odd, high swirl 86 only cyl. heads. No more Capris after 86. although the Mustang 5.0 was pretty much unchanged from 87 thru 93.

Re: 302 Ford 2V
Thanks for the comments. I must admit I did misinterpret the guide as the stick angle is not in my plan. I have a bunch of 86 efi parts still around from previous bracket cars so that seems like a better path at this point.
I know there used to be a Denysenko that ran and 86 ford efi with some success. Any others running this combo? I'm out to get started in class racing and not set records. I've been thinking about this for too many years and need to get started. My rare 82 intake will be for sale soon
