hi all as in my last post i wrote up about my new granada i bought
i also have a 1.6 pinto sierra
i bought it but never got around doing anything with it
so since a have the granada it just hit me would,nt it be a great idea to swap with engine out of the granada into the sierra
its a 2.0 doch efi great running engine going very well
i have changed engines before but it was just bolt in bolt out job never on a ford
my sierra has the type 9 gear box i think as its a 1.6 pinto
will it bolt up the the 2.0 engine as the granada is automatic
also i will need an efi petrol tank i dont think the granada one is the same as the sierra
or will the sierra one do or will i need to go look for another one
wireing wouldnt be my strongest point put from with i gather in my own head is that i will just swap the loom over from the granada into the sierra with the ecu and so on
any help to me would be very much appreciated
thanks

I did this conversion with a 2.0 twincam efi into a 1.8cvh carb both sierras on 91/92 reg years J+K plates the twincam engine was an automatic unit

From what i remember this is what was needed........

You will need the MT75 gearbox, you will need the propshaft also and a flywheel and go to ford for the small spiggot bearing on end of crankshaft area it is needed.

convert the wiring loom and ecu into the car and a petrol tank and all i had to do was add a fuse into the fusebox in engine bay for the fuel pump to run.

I am positive i had a slight issue with the vacuum pipe that runs from master cylinder but i had a blast in that car for what it was

hope some of that hekps

hi i just need a bit more info csm. will i need to swap the all the wiring loom of the granada into the sierra
will i need to swap the granada fuse box over to the sierra as well
is it a plug in job
or has there to be lots of wires cut and joined to get it running
had you any problems
also you where using a automatic loom like i will be
sombody told me i will have to join two wires so the car will think its in neutral to get the car started???
is it a hard conversion or handy
many thanks

you will need the manual starter motor as the autos were different

you'll need the flywheel form the dohc as well as the clutch

but other than that it's plug and play

Csm

its plug and play as above fella

evolution2

thanks guys im fine with the mechanical side of things
just the wiring side of things i wouldnt be great
but if its a plug in job should be ok
do i need to swap the fuse boxs

this is the sierra that im fitting the twin cam into
it will need a small tidy i have a new rear bumper ordered for it.over all shes in good nick< 28 years old>
and i have a fog light front bumper for it that i got of a twin cam sierra a few years ago
im going to use the the type 9 gearbox and clutch and flywheel i think it will work with the l4 engine <the granada is automatic>
my biggest problem will be with the wiring
will i need to swap over the fuse box etc etc

I don't think your type 9 box/flywheel/clutch etc will just bolt up and work without a fuss - speedo drive etc is something to think about.

Your mk3 Granada DOHC has an auto sump, if you were to use an MT75 RWD manual gearbox to convert the granny to manual you would need a manual sump as the starter motor is on the other side.

But as your going to attempt mixing that into the Sierra with type 9 stuff I think it might be awkward?

Good luck

And I think your fuel lines will be on the wrong side too.

By the way I'm not neigh-saying but just trying to help you think of the problems before you get to them.

You need the MT75 box fella

hi guys a bit of an update

evolution2

i have the engine out of the granny not a bad job but was hard to get out of the engine bay
because of this hugeeee torque converter

evolution2

so i removed it i should have done it before i removed the engine but i was to lasy

evolution2

evolution2

as above you can see i removed the engine loom and ecu
from what i can see i have remover all that i think should make the car run
all the sencers etc etc i have never done it before so please if anybody can see anything i have done wrong say it as i am just learning here
i also removed the main engine loom to i didnt get a photo of
it unplugs from this loom

evolution2

evolution2

i know some of you told me i need the mt75 box
but i think the type 9 box will fit if i use the 1.6 fly wheel clutch etc
the type 9 box would not fit if i used a twin cam fly wheel because they are massive <1.6 flywheel is smaller>
i could be fully wrong here but im going to chance it and see i hope it will work
