The European Ford Granada is a much cooler counterpart than its american cousin...same thing went for the escort in my opinion....

[solveg18]

Yeeeeah. God ol FORD POWER with upgrade Wee

[karistutalcortina]

And I don't think that all cortinas have live axles as standard huh!

[FCastle6969]

They did, gimp

[karistutalcortina]

You mean that it has got leaf springs?

[blow0me]

No, it uses a 1 piece axle. Although a lot of cars/vans with solid rear axles do use leaf springs.

I am using coilovers ( shocks/springs combined ) on this car, and a 4-link to mount the axle.

The car did originally have independant rear suspension, similar to a Ford Sierra.

[karistutalcortina]

What do you mean when you say live axle?

[blow0me]

A live axle is a solid rear axle.

Like MK2 Escort, Ford Capri, Ford Cortina.

Not an independant rear suspension.

[hajgabdalt]

So it's an LS1 engine afterall, isn't it?On what car was the engine originally installed ?

[blow0me]

The engine is bits of everything now, but it's based around a 2001 Camaro LS6 block, with lots of aftermarket bits bolted on :)

[blow0me]

Yes, its based around an LS1.

The car used to have a Ford Cologne 2.8 V6 and 3 speed auto.

[mxdavid]

mmmm.... sweet! i love that car!

[oygly]

FUCK ME!!!!!!!!!!!! That is one amazing Granny! I all sounded fast when I read about it in "Retro Ford" magazine but actually seeing it in action! Words escape me! Well done that man for building it!

[blow0me]

T56 hearbox, and Ford 8.8" live axle with a Torsen diff

[dextertig]

what gearbox and diff is he running thats what i want to know

[jaggass]

that seat had a quicker start but it had no chance against the granada

[nickymattsson]

I think its supercharged or turbo'd now too! Madness, but what a legend. FORDS RULE!!!!

[Hunstanton29]

Wish my Granada was THAT quick.

Can't imagine his transmission lasting too long !!!

Very impressive from a big, heavy old 'Q' ship (Wolf in Sheeps clothing).

[blow0me]

Its been 6.3L for a while. Straightliners clocked the standing mile at 187.8mph in July 2006

[mk2russ]

its a v8 5.7L LS1 engine, it has been seen to do over 180mph. truly awesome classic motor.

[jaggass]

is that a V8 in that granada?

[granadajack]

[rodneypullit]

[granadajack]
