dumb brits...or is it dumb me?

I took a 302 for a test ride in about summer of 70 . It wasn't bad. But when I took the 340 Swinger for a ride, I forgot all about that wee baby 302. As I recall the Capri was lighter than the same year same options, Mustang. Nearly 200 pounds kindof rings a bell.
As for the Coyote engine; there wouldn't be much Capri left after the install, and even less after the first test-ride.
Yeah I agree, and think everything about that conversation screams dumb.
