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.
