Mike,
Just an FWI on getting a reports from CarFax on Capri's.
I know of several people that have run '85 Capri RS's and '86 Capri 5.0L
cars through CarFax and it reports that they are GS trim cars.
If you were able to write a program to search their site looking for just
the V8 equipped cars and catalog the vin's in a spreadsheet, I believe that
you might be the only one to do so.
Brent
