I have a 65 Mustang with 6I 3spd can I use a 77 Granda 6I and C3 trans to replace them? and then will the rear end work also?

A '77 Granada would have a 250 engine. They got the 200 engine when they bacame a Fox platform car in 1981.

The parts stores list a 200 for a '77 Granada.

I bet they list parts for 1983 Corvettes too... 
It would also probably have a C4, not a C3 or Jatco. The C3 is a light duty transmission only found on Pintos, Mustang II's, and some euro Capris.

My Encyclopedia of American Cars lists the 200 as the standard engine for the Granada in 1977. It shows the 250 as standard for the Granada Ghia and optional for the other Granada models. I also found recall data on 1977 Granada 3.3L cars. 
Your Corvette comment made me curious, so I had to look in my book for that, also. 
I didn't know - until know - that no Corvettes were produced in '83. Interesting fact.
I can't say for sure if Ford put the C3 transmission in the Granada (I wouldn't think so b/c of the size and weight), but they sure did use them with 200s. Some of the Fairmonts had them.

I believe my fairmont has a c3. It does not bolt up to the bell housing as the c4's do. This has a small square trans pan and the trans bolts right up to the motor and is powered by a 200.

Falcon 64,
No corvettes made in '83 because they were retooling for the new 4th generation Vette and moved assembly from St. Louis to the present day Bowling Green, Kentucky facility.

There were 1982 Corvettes made in 1983 at the Bowling Green Kentucky plant. It wasn't officially a 1983 modle. The 1984 Corvette came out earlier than the October 1983 modle run. All these devices had the CrossFire fuel injection system with 205 hp, fibreglass tranverse link and high magnesium headers. I really like these old beasts.
Jack, there was apparently a C3 200 Fox body, according to one guy on this forum. It was a hangover from the C3 hitched 2.8 Cologne V6. Up untill late in the 70's, the 2.8 got good old US C4 and SR4 transmissions. With the advent of the Fox Mustang, the 2.3 and 2.8's got C3's rather thanC4's like they did in the Mustang II's.
There are two kinds of C4's. The case and panfill, and the C5 casefill. I'm fairly sure from the post that the trans on some Mustang and Fairmonts was C3 with 3.3 combo from 1980 to 1981, before the C5 came out.
I'll find the post. Ah, Nor Cal Mike!

If this is legit, then it was used behind 3.3 Mustangs after they ran out of 2.8's in early 1980. The Germans got flooded for orders when Ford of Britain stopped making 3.0 V6's

Both my Haynes and Chilton manuals covering the Fairmont specify that a C3 was used (as well as the C4) with the 200. I've pulled a C3 out of a 200-equipped Fairmont before. Like Fairmont Dream said, the way the transmission bolts to the bellhousing is a little different than the C4, the pan shape is different, and the output shaft uses the same small-sized driveshaft yoke as the Fordomatic. The C4 uses a larger output shaft.
