hi my question is can the 9" rear out of a 76 granada work in my 70 maverick. how about the v8 c4 crossmember, and v8 engine crossmember. also the sway bar. motor and frame mount's. i would appreciate any help on just what doe's and doe's not fit on my maverick from a granada that would be of any interest, found one at a local wrecking yard would like to know what to get ?. thank's a lot.
The 9" willl bolt right in but better check to make sure it is in fact, a 9". They are very rare. None of the rest of the stuff will work, although, there have been some very heated debates on the sway bar application.
Much of the front suspension and disc brakes are useful with some specific parts like master cylinder not useful and those items that are specific to the body design. Motor and trans mounts not useful for bolt in.
Rear brake assemblies will work from Granada 8 in. rear ends. The Granada has 2" wide shoes and finned drums (Mav 1 3/4 in. and smooth drums). You will need the entire assembly, though, including the backing plates, and be certain to be aware you will need the Granada brake proportioning valve (or an adjustable one) if you have a disc brake Mav. Otherwise you will be locking up the rear wheels at unexpected moments.
Master cylinder not interchangable???? Hold on Ken..you say the master cylinder is not interchangable? I bought a new one at a swap that was supposed to be for a Granada and when the one went in my 4 door, it was a perfect match. It appeared absolutely identical and fit perfectly as well as works fine.
