The combo looks like it went 10 rounds with Sonny Liston.

If its a V-8 car that would be a plus so you don't have to chase down heads and an intake. Pre 1980 Granadas have leaf spring rear ends, and either an 8 inch, 9 inch, 7.5 or a wierdo 8.7 according to some folks. Front suspension is the older Ford stuff, common. If the interior is rough that could be a challenge finding the correct panels etc. I went through that with my Fairmont. It would be a unique addition to U/SA. Not likley a dime rocket BTW. Good luck. Last edited by Shadylane; 11-09-2017 at 11:27 PM. |

Re: Ford granada 1976
I doubt that it could be gotten light enough. Later Granadas are based on the Fairmont.
I keep waiting for someone to do an 80 with a VV carb. I've played with them, they'll flow lots of air and still at 130 HP.

Re: Ford granada 1976
That appears to be the vaunted Ghia model.
There are certainly lavish, opulent and comfortable appointments visible. I distinctly remember the new interior smell. The burl wood dash trim is quite elegant with just a smatter of sophistication designed to please all but the the most discriminate among us. How about waiting for the premier opportunity to campaign the flagship Versailles? A sprightly 135 when equipped with the 351 combination. |

As Billy pointed out, there are still many others rated lower.
