    Alright I swapped my front drums to a disc set up from a 77 granada and am getting ready to get a set of cross drilled rotors.Figured since im doin that might as well upgrade the calipers,well i cant find new ones on summit so i was wondering if there is any other car's caliper i could use ie- Mustang,cougar etc.

    Anyone know??

    I'm not aware of anything that's a direct bolt on but you can go to the parts house and pick up a set of rebuilt Granada ones for about $15.00 per caliper with exchange. They will work great and unless you're doing something special with the car, is all you will need.
