The guy that posted this engine for sale, doesn´t know thatthe 2200 V6 never made it to the states in a Capri. I have heard of them being sold in South Africa, where I have a customer, but not in the states. I have never heard of a 2400 V6 at all.

I think he may be talking about the 2600 and 2800 V6s, buty he says the smaller one is what he has. If this is so, it is a 2600 and is obsolete, making it hard to find parts, and if you do, they will be costly.

For sure regarding costly. When our 2.6 was tired after some fantastic mileage we looked at rebuilding. Pistons were $800. gasket set was $250. Never mind head work and machining. That was like back in 2004.
For what was needed i bought my long block Ford Racing 302. Of course that was needing like manifold and carb. Ford Racing flywheel and clutch and things
Never regretted buying the 302

Hi Mike,

The only size Ford V6s that came in the U.S version of the Capri, were the 2.6 and the 2.8. All the other sizes were intended for other foreign markets, so it is improbable that the engine for sale is anything other than one of the two sizes noted.

Some of those smaller displacement engines may have actually been the v4 version. They were used in many applications including fork lifts,etc.

The V4 went to 2.3 liters.
The only cars that came to the US with the V4 was the saab 95/96 and sonnet.
