2wd mate

cheers

 

you need to find a 2wd granada then to start with. pretty much all the parts are there.

Well pretty much all of the 2wd granada bits will go straight onto a saph.

Drop the lot out from underneath (rear beam, box, front x-member, arb, engine, rad etc..) do same on the saphhy and bolt it all back up.

Keep the loom from the granada and get a decent sparky to wire it in for you (bit complicated to do it yourself unless your very handy with wiring)...I can reccomend someone if your in east mids.

using the full underside of the granada means you get a LSD in the rear and the conversion can be done in a day by a competent garage.

Cheers

Didnt the cossie v6 granada engine come with the auto box only.

 

I'm sure i've seen rwd mt75 int eh granadas...I dunno maybe someone can clear it up....

Dan

 

I always thought they were automatics cause u had to us a flywheel off another car for the manual box.

 

Well i'm sure that the rwd mt75 box came fitted to a v6 24v engine....it must have come in some variant.

tbh the options for rwd are rwd mt75 or T5 (with adapter brkt...topboss do them IIRC)

I've only ever done the conversion on 4x4 sierras which is a piece of piss. Ford did a 4x4 granda and a rwd granada 24v I'm sure of it....i'll go check as its bugging me now.
