I don´t think this engine is from a Capri, not that it matters, because it is still a 2.8 V6, but there are several things about the engine and what the seller says, that just don´t jive. The alternator bracket and alternator, look like the one on the Mustang II. The Capri came with a Bosch unit, if I remember correctly, but the bracket is definitely one for a Mustang II. The Capri´s had the alternator on the driver´s side.
The thing that kind of settles it for me, is that he says he took the four speed to a transmission shop to see if he could use some parts from it to put into his Mustang Cobra V8 transmission. The Capri transmission, at least the ones I´m familiar with, aren´t even close in appearance to the Mustang II four speed.
I suppose I could be looking at a very special Capri 2.8 V6, but I don´t think so. Maybe because it is a very late Capri, but that would be the only possibility. The Capri´s were assembled in Germany, so I doubt that it would have a Mustang II type engine installed.
Does anyone else think the same as I do?
