Is it a 7.5 or 8.8 ???

I thought my granada had an 8 inch in it but last night when I looked at it ,I found a rear end I`ve never seen before :16suspect .

I just now took a picture of it, could some one please take a look at it and tell me what it is please. If its an 7.5 (I`m thinkin thats what it is) I`ll leave it in the car but if its an 8.8 I`ll save it.

Thanks guys...

 

Its a 8.8

 

Okay thanks alot ! How do you tell its an 8.8 ?

 

Looks like somebody wrote it on there. :confused:

(sorrry - here's a link to help identify Ford (and other) rear ends. http://hotrod.com/techarticles/48618/index7.html

 

Rick,
Even my wife got chuckles from that :bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

 

Haha, good one Rick.

 

Thanks y`all , I`m gonna go pull it now

 

Hey elliot,

Aren't the 8" rears stronger than the 8.8?

That is just what I was under the impression of. I like the rear access to the 8.8 better. Probably alot easier to work on.

 

That's real interesting... What year Granada is it?

Dennis how can you tell it's an 8.8? I always thought the 8.8 never came in a car leaf-spring configuration. I would have said that is a 7.5, but I don't know a trick to tell from a distance like that. In person, I can tell by the size (or the tag, heh)

 

Well since Charlie basically said what I been thinking,, that sure looks like an 8" to me.

I know it's not an 8" because it has a bolt-on rear cover; but I can't tell if it's a 7.5" or an 8.8"

 

duh me,, I am getting so blind,,,think I need a dose of geritol.

I don't know what it is, but it certainly looks bigger than a 7.5" (and obviously not an 8").
I see those on Granadas at the junkyard all the time. I'm looking for a Granada 8-inch...

 

Some granada's had 9". Would have to see pic from front side to determine.

 

I talk to a Granada guy at Ford Carlisle every year. I always thought all Granadas had 8" and ocasionally a 9". He corrected my thinking. They also came with the 8.8. His was an 8.8. I dont remember what years came with them.
