I did this swap on my 66 and it worked fine. You will also need an adjustable proportioning valve, dual chamber master cylinder (a good idea anyway), and new outer tie rode ends.<br /><br />Check out this link for details on the swap<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mustangsplus.com/tech/granada/index.html" target="_blank">http://www.mustangsplus.com/tech/granada/index.html</a> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>talaposa</b> <br /><small>Member # 2460</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,6,26,22,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I've done a 1/2 dozen or so of these conversions on falcons which use the early mustang parts. You can use the geo metro booster and cylinder for power brakes or use a mercury tracer 88 or later. Be sure to use a 7/8" bore or smaller unless you have power brakes as the discs require more pressure. You can also use the stock proportioning valve. The conversion is really easy but time consuming. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Joooestang66</b> <br /><small>Member # 2828</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,6,29,19,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Granada/Monarch is the way to go if youre on a budget. I got the Wilwood Dynalite four piston caliper system on my 66'.
