This is my summer ride and my real pride and joy. During the winter months, I store this baby and drive my 1986 Chevy K20. Please check it out as well.

My 1978 Ford Granada originally came with the 250ci inline six motor, and C-4 trans. It now has a fresh 302 pushing 240 hp, and is awaiting paint and a new transmission.

I am running P195/75R14's up front for clearance reasons, and P245/65R14's in the rear for traction reasons.

Here I am tearing up my old crappy tire.

Here are some pictures of my baby in the very beginning:

Sweet build man! I've got a 1976 with a 302 as well and I was wondering what headers you used? Keep up the great work!
