I did a '78 Granada 8" into my 68 with NO problems. It's open, it's 3.00, but its in., It is a little narrower then a mustang 8" but I think its better for that deep dish rim look
I put a Versailles rear in my '67 about 10 years ago. It mounts right up with no mods needed. The e brake on mine was missing on my car when I bought it 27 years ago, and I never bothered to install one. I know that it can be done. I just don't know how much fabrication is involved, if any. You may have to do some minor adapting for the brake hoses, no big deal. I like that it is 1" narrower on each side. My 275 40 17 tires fit great. I have heard some with a standard rear say that they rub on the wheel well lip.

i think the non-versailles 9" rears were limited to the granada ESS with the 351w or the monarch also with the 351w. i've heard of some police/taxi granada's that would have likely gotten the 9" but have never seen one. i've only ever seen one 351w granada ESS and it was in a junkyard i worked at in high school, went to the crusher a long time ago.
