Hey,
Right now I am attempting to get a motor for my Granada. Nothing is final yet but it would be a 3.8 SC out of a Thunderbird SuperCoupe. I am looking to find out if anyone knows if the 200 Inline 6 motor mounts are the same as the 3.8 V6? If I remember right the 82 Granada's came with the 3.8 V6. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Okay, if the Autozone is correct they are not the same. So I guess my next question would be is if the 3.8 motor mounts will work with the 3.3 K member? As before any input would be great.
EDIT
Okay so I found that the K Member for the 3.3 is different and I don't think I will be able to use it. But if what I found is correct the 2.3 3.8 and the 5.0 all share the same K Member. So I will have to find one of those. If anyone can confirm any of this that would help.
Thanks,
Nick

Should have. We've got some '83-85 108" WB LTDs here. I'm quite far from you though.

Yeah, I could imagine that shipping would be the killer. But seeing as how I have never removed a K Member I am not sure what the weight is like.

I just shipped a set of front 68-72 Nova coil springs to California for just under $50 to give you an idea...........

Hello,
Do you know what you might charge me for the K Member? I would just like to get an idea so that I can decide if I need to find one more local to the chicago area.
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks, Nick I was talking to my uncle on this one (it his yard of cars), he thinks you might be in trouble trying to put a 3.8L crossmember in one of these Granadas. Thinks maybe you should build up the mounts (frame and motor side) of the 3.8L Have you done any measurements? Can one of these K-Members be even installed in a Granada? |

Hello,
I have not done any measuring yet. I was working on the assumption that the fox body fords are similar. I was looking to get a K Member from a mustang but I do not have anything to really compare it to. I suppose I should hit the junkyard and see what I can see. Maybe then I will be 100% sure either way.
Thanks,
Nick

IF...we can get the K member.........we can weld in aditional metal to add more strength to the mounts , etc.

Hello,
So I think I have decided to ditch the idea for the 3.8. It would have been cool but it would just cost too much to get it in there and by the time I do I could just spend a little less and drop a 302 in.
