I used to have a Capri. Wonderfull machines with a great power to wieght
ratio. The engine weighs a little than the alpine unit, but will make more
torque. 105 BHP stock, but with tons of aftermarket goodies available, a
reasonably conservative engine can be built to produce about 170BHP with
just head mods, a good carb and a long duration camshaft. The 4 speed
manual transmisions are nice, but are rather wide ratio. I dont believe
your car will have the manual though as I hear there is not enough room for
it. More likely is the C4 3 speed automatic.
See Gary Schotlands writeup on the capri V6 mod at

in the 59-68 alpines section for a complete well written writup on the
changover.
