GT_lenny Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 about buying a mk2 granada to use as my daily wheels- but i'd want to convert it to diesel, any suggestions about which lump would bolt up to the granny gearbox?
Savvi Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Glad i got someone interested They did a diesel in a MK2 as standard, it was the Peugeot lump, the local taxi firm had loads of them
GT_lenny Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 the 1.9 lump? do they bolt straight up then?
Savvi Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 No it was from the Pug 505 ? I bet a transit Di would fit though ?
mk1mexico Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Was a 2.4 or 2.5 Diesel in the mk2 if i recall correctly. Would be much cooler in a Mk1
Savvi Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I think the sierra was 2.3, which you could also use. My mates Dad had a 2.5 on a B plate, excellent car i used to borrow it for longer distances when it was about 4 years old, he ran it into the ground and scrapped it. You may be able to fit the one out of this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-GRANADA-GHIA ... 20adaa0e0b http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-SCORPIO-GRAN ... 4a9af97315
mk1mexico Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Iv driven an M plate Granada with the engine Savvi posted above, pulled very well at hardly any revs. Great torquey lump even in that Weight of car.
GT_lenny Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Posted October 18, 2009 yeah its the old VM engine they fitted them to some mid 80's range rovers and reliabilty-wise they were------ dogshit
Savvi Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Fit one of these then ? http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... highlight= This one may be coming out yet
