need a book on swappable cars

hocbry30 · 09-01-2005, 11:41 PM

I am in search of a book that shows what parts off of other cars will fit my 65 coupe as far as brakes and rears and stuff. I want to upgrade to a 5 lug pattern badly. Or a website link with the info. Hey maybe we can start one? Like on a free website or something? Or even here?
Thanks

What years of Granada? Direct swap?

You mean 9".....a 9' rear would be REAL large. LOL

ok, i did get a laugh after the visual. i got my discs from a 78' i believe. still in my garage. for some strange reason my foot gets sucked to the pan and i keep blowin motors. the machinist has mentioned the race club out here. lotta dirt track fanatics.
anyways, ive only seen the swap done once personally and it involves parts from both cars. i think he used a power booster from an escort. valve cover clearance problems with the tall covers. search "granada swap" and you'll get tons of info.

I just did the swap, went pretty smooth for me. Im keeping mine non-power though. I still dont have the brake lines hooked up though, but it should be no problem.
I think either mustangs plus's catalog or dallas mustang's catalog has a section in the back which lists parts from different vehicles that will work in our earlier stangs
