Cosworth diff.
#3
Well that hard for me to explain the brakers here in Dk ... they mostly know what year it came from ... so I need to find out if there is a difference in what year the Scorpio 24V are from ??

All Mk3 Granada were 7.5 inch so I recall.
I didnt think the Grannies ran an LD, but I could be wrong...
3.64 for the 2.9 24v dude, better still is the 2.3 Ultima, with the lovely 3.91 final drive, just put one in mine
One word - fantastic!

It works out about 9% fella. Yes they are open, but I only bought a CWP set, so kept my LSD.
Recalibration is only 50 quid, and it will prob be marginal from factory, so worth getting done. Who runs std wheel and tyre combos these days also!
I run a wheel and tyre profile with a greter rolling radius, so smaller difference on mine, but worth it seeing as motorists are the chosen means of revenue generation, and most of us drive these things to enjoy, that extra bit of accuracy is well worth it!
I stand corrected on the early cars having LSD's. Another Ford cost saving measure :-(

I twould over read by about 9 percent on the std wheel and tyre combo, but as the rolling circumference grows, the different starts to diminsh... As I said, the speedo can be be recalibrated cheaply, so shouldn't put you off.
It really livens the car up, especially off boost. Best thing I have done to mine!
I found a Brand new CWP in Norway, for 100 quid, couldn't say no!
A used diff will be sweet, as the 2.3 only knocks out 140 odd horses...

Good luck my friend.
Try and find a 2.3 Ultima and rob it of it's diff, they go for peanuts, see how you get on with the ratio, then maybe get your LSD in there with some bearings and seals - the perfect set up!
