Our Granada has plenty of Seventies Style, but precious little power. This sounds like a good candidate for a sleeper build!

I had a 78' Granada ES back in the mid 80's. Pulled the 302 out and replaced it with a HiPo 289 warmed up, couldn't run an air cleaner because of clearance issues. When I ran it at the Tulsa International Raceway before the change, it ran a whole 86 MPH in the quarter. Sorry, I don't remember the ET. After the 289 was installed, beefed up c-4 with a 3000 stall and 3:55 geared 8.8 limited slip, it ran 11.97 best. Drove it every day and to go play. Once raced a guy with a blue Camaro 6 times in one night at the strip, because he couldn't believe a Granada beat him. That's 6 times at 100.00 a race! It looked like Grandmas car, because it was. Fun times!!!

First friend my age to get his own car had a '77 Ford Grenade ( this was 1985-ish). We had so much fun with that car I kind of fell in love with that POS. Soon after moving to Denver in my late teens I totalled out my car and needed something cheap and found an '76 for sale and had to get it (1990-ish). That thing lasted me three years without one issue! It got me up the mountain in summer AND winter for biking and skiing until it started on fire..... ahhh good times....

I had a 1978 Granda ESS, 2-dr, in fire blue metallic. Loved the car with the stylish cornering lamps, landau top and that distinctive European look. The only problem was that it had a 250-6 cylinder. A huge downgrade in power after having giving up my ‘71 Roadrunner with the 383. I kept the Granada for 15 years with no major issues. I was seriously thinking of swapping the inline 6 with a 460 which would have been the ultimate sleeper. However, bought my first truck, a 93 Ford Ranger 2-dr, long bed. I had it for 19 years until the tranny gave out. This build you have going with the Ghia will be definitely sensational in both rumble and power! Anxiously awaiting the final product.

@jeffhale2278 Год назад

My first was a '77 Monarch 2dr, baby blue, dark blue vinyl top. Inherited it when Pap passed, '81. Put some ET 5 window mags on it, drove it for years. Really dependable, 302, C4. You would have a hard time shoehorning a 460 between the shock towers, probably have to go with a Mustang II-type IFS. Even with the 302, mine would push (under steer) in the corners. A BB 460 is going to be even worse. I later bought a '75 Monarch with a 250, 3 speed. Drove it into the ground. Would love to find another 250 for my '61 Falcon resto. Great aftermarket aluminum heads available now for these Sixes. I did find a wrecked Fairmont with a 200, 4 speed. It sat for a few years, I am currently soaking the pistons / rings with a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. If it isn't locked up, I'll just use it until I can find and build a 250. Sorry, I just like those "6 in a row" engines. Couple of side-draft Webers and a T56 trans, should be a cute little ride. I'll post a vid when I get her going.

@Kekaula100 Год назад

@@jeffhale2278 Hey, Jeff. Thanks for the feedback. We considered the tight fit with the shock towers, but given your experience with the 302, the under steer was not factored in. My ESS was a great unique vehicle which I enjoyed for 15 years. After it was sold I’ve seen it on the road for about two years after. The only “performance” item that I had installed was a Trans Go shift kit which distinctively gave a much harder, quick shift. A lcracked intake exhaust manifold was the only issue that I experienced. A replacement was found somewhere in the Midwest.

Drove it like that for a few years and eventually sold it. 2 door black with a burgandy interior. Embarrassed SO many other cars,,good times. I certainly understand the feelings.

I spent a year building a 5.0HO to replace the stock 90 5.0 HO I have in the car. Stock block crank rods with ARP bolts. Diamond flat tops 65 grams lighter than OEM forged pistons and I used the stock 90 5.0 HO hyd roller camshaft. I added 79 302 heads which I had Indy Cylinder Heads weld the water passages which where a long slot right under the intake ports to strengthen the head deck surface at 12 noon. I also added one water steam hole at ever chamber .312” x 8 places. Ported exhaust ports shortened exhaust guides in the port 3/8” installed 351-w valves exhaust and intake from PEP with Rail Tips so I could use Comp Cams Magnum Roller tipped cast rockers. Along with special length ARP rocker studs because I milled the rocker boss too much.😢 Thanks to Bob F. @ ARP he saved my butt.🎉 Left intake ports alone. Stock length Moly push rods gave best valve tip to rocker travel. So I had Amy old Friends Dyno the engine I was very happy it made 296 hp at 5500. Forget the torque. Anyway about 96 more than the engine in the car. Life steps in and my daughter needed hip and leg surgery so I sold the engine. It was in a Fox body and the kid sprayed it with 15 bottles. Then it was sold because he had melted the plastic oil pressure line and thought he had hurt the engine. Naaa I used coated rods and mains, welded a big baffle covering the oil sump in the stock pan with a 5/8 351-w pickup tube and Boss 302 windage tray. Oh crankshaft and windage tray both coated by Carl Benton at Poly Dynamics in TX who licenses Calico to use his system. Engine was unhurt. So it’s in a 56 Ford street show car for the last 20 years haaa.

He had a 68 Firebird with a 326. He got me at the traffic light, but I had slightly more power top end. I kept the pedal to the floor for the whole 7 or 8 miles, we were locked on 125mph. I had enough to pass him, but every time I pulled out to pass, an opposing car would come and force me to dive back in behind him. What an idiot I was.

great video! The forgotten car! Ive owned 6 of them.. current one is a 76 with 6.0 LS with BTR cma and stage 2 heads. I dont recommend doing this swap to just any one,, its a PIA and recommend putting a mustang K member in it and going with struts because The manifolds dont fit between the shock towers unless you use Holley exhaust manifolds. The rear steering set up makes this another PIA too.. oil filter must be relocated to fenderwell.. Mustang 8.8 fits under the car with a set of relocated spring perches that are easy to do..Hope to see more of these cars around in the future.. there is a following for them.. Facebook has a few groups Ill pass along the link to this video! Thanks guys!

Those Granadas and Monarks like that were designed for a 200 inline 6 cylinder ONLY. I had one with a 302 and my starter went out at 2am out of town and I always carried spare parts including a starter. You wouldn't believe what all I had to do just to change it.

That thing must have never seen a winter north of the Tennessee border. I had a '76 Grenada as a kid in the 80's and it literally fell apart from rust when it was 10 years old! I was in the Chicago area. You were lucky to get 10 years out of a 70's Ford back then. Notorious rust buckets.

My 71 Nova had a 350 four bolt main 60 over. The induction was a Edelbrock torqer 2 manifold with a 950 carb also from Ed work like a beast.

And to finish off the image, install some exhaust cutouts and weld in a stock looking single exhaust; 1-3/4" pipe going through a big fat factory sideways muffler with no special tip under the bumper, just a standard French cut, pointing down tip.

I remember my friend's dad buying a Granada new in mid 70's don't know what powered it, but it had a 4 speed in it.

@ryurc3033 Год назад

But then it wouldn't look stock anymore. I think that's the majority of the charm of this as a sleeper setup. You could convince someone, it's just got a cam, nah it's not fully built.....hide the spray and nobody knows what hit them.
