This just in: size does matter after all-and smaller is better! Well, maybe not for everything, but when it comes to things cluttering your engine compartment, small and compact is good. Air conditioning generally takes up a fair amount of space under the dash and under the hood and Vintage Air knows this as well as anyone. A couple of years back, with great success we might add, the company introduced its Frontrunner complete serpentine conversion system that reduces all the engine mounted accessories to a tight-knit cluster that mounts only to the engine block via a custom billet CNC-machined timing cover. This doesn’t clutter up the front of the cylinder heads, allowing them to be removed easily, should you need to, without disturbing the front dress.

In the last few issues of MM&FF, we’ve been modifying an ‘85 5.0L Mercury Capri with bolt-on parts from Summit Racing Equipment, Performance Distributors, Holley, Weiand, Dynomax and Weld Racing. The modifications have allowed us to take this once-sluggish 15.6-second ride to a mercurial 13.31 at 102 mph. This month, we aim to improve on this accomplishment with the addition of high-performance cylinder heads and a hot camshaft.inline_mediumwraptextright0033044364/tech/mmfp_1006_1985_50l_mercury_capri_flo_tek_cylinder_head_and_cam_upgrade_part_4mmfp_1006_01_o+1985_50l_mercury_capri+mercury.jpgtrue
