Well, unfortunately i won't be getting the cleveland, although since the new car has a cleveland in it i suppose i could probably get taht from him too! He did say i could have the cleveland heads, at least, if he bought the new one, so...fine with me! Put those on a windsor block...Clevor!
About narrowing the rear, would any of the shops be able to give me new extensions for it, and weld them in? Because of the axles i don't know that i would want to narrow it (it's only as wide as the granada's anyways, about 1 1/2" on each side), so, not too bad! Then again, i suppose with a trade-in, axles wouldn't be too expensive would they? Does have HUGE drum brakes though. Those add probably another 1". But, since i have all those coil spring perches that came off of the torino, i need to either cut them off and file smooth, then weld leaf spring perches (big job!) or just get new extensions.
