I have already done the swap on my 67, and my 73 is factory disk.

but I found a V8 granada that I want the motor for. I can probably pick it up for about $300. I am trying to justify it to the wife. If I can get $150 for the front disk set up, and $50 for the tranny, I will gut the mofo and piece it off.

anyways, whats a granada disk set up going for?

I just sold a set of discs from a Versailles for $150. These had good rotors. You might also be able to sell the 8" rear ( if it's not a 9" ) to one of the guys doing a 6 to 8 swap in a Stang.

As far as I know, no 77 Granadas came with 8.8's. It might be something else. Like a Dana 44.

I am next to positive it is a 8.8, and i know its not a 44. It looks exactly like the 8.8 that was in my 95 f 150, and it looks just like the one in a 89 5.0 mustang that we have. I highly doubt somebody swaped it out. Every thing is factory on it. It did have a 302 in it.

Hmm.

I was thinking the 8.8 didn't appear till about 1980 or so. Never can tell about Ford though. Could also be a 7.5, I think I've seen a few of those in Granadas

I might buy it, then strip it. then take the plasma cutter to it and toss the bits into the metal recycle bin at the dump

I doubt a junkyard would take it without anything on it.

The Granadas didn't get any 8.8s. They had a rearend that looks alot like the 8.8, but it's called an 8 3/4." No parts from the 8.8 will work on it.
The front disc setup normally goes for about $150. Any less can be considered a steal. Some places will try to get more, but swapmeets and classifieds will generally be around $150.
