Hi all, it's been awhile since I've posted.... darn health issues.
Anyway, as a refresher I have a 1975 Granada with the 250 six and a c4 trans but the carb is toast.
I recently bought a period correct 1975 302 with a rebuilt c4 on it for a good price.
Now, I need the car daily since I cannot walk very far anymore, and I don't know if I should buy another carb for it or drop the 302 into it.
The car itself is in good shape with 94000 miles on it. The 250 has 180 compression across the board but is a slug getting onto the highway.
If the 250 is better, what should I use for a carb? I've had the head rebuilt and shaved for the new style head gasket and the engine still has the crosshatch on the bores.
Or is the 302 better to use? I would like a bit more performance, but I've heard good things about the six.
I don't know which choice is better!
Regards, Alex.
