Its a bloody pain in the ass!

Well, stripping the Granada is

You'll need:

V6 Crossmember (And power steering rack)
Gearbox - Type 9 from 2.8i, or MT75 (Contact caprisport)
Mounting brackets, and rubbers for 2.8i capri engine
clutch kit, and spigot bearing for manual gearbox
Flywheel and propshaft from 2.8i
Wiring and engine/exhaust manis from granada
Radiator from larger car (The capri one, and viscous fan is wang)

A lot of patience.

Im about 2/3 the way through fitting this to my 2.0S, and you need to take the stance of 'work out how much you think it will cost, then add 50% on again for sundries', because you find loads of things you've forgotten about!

Best of luck!
