Mk1 Granada V8

Post by BIG MAN MIKE »

Hi all, i am on several forums and you may or may not have seen my car, its a 1977 ford Mk1 Granada fitted with a 351 windsor V8. The car has massive history, was first V8'ted in the late 80's buy a nice chap called Ian Quarterman who also pro streeted her but was put back to standard I.R.S due to its bad behaviour on the road
Engine in it now is a 77 block which has been skimmed and had a +30 rebore, ported GT40 heads, 291 cam with hyraulic lifters, holley street dominator intake, holley 780cfm carb & engine has been ballanced
Gearbox is a C4 with shift kit and strengthend internals
Back axle is MK2 granada 2.8
Engine in it now was fitted by me and my dad after previous engine went bang!
Here are some pics of her which date back to the late 80's, thanks

Never understood why Henry didn't put a V8 in the Granada himself.
