- This is my 1974 Gran Torino that I've swapped out the 302/FMX for a 460/C6. The drivetrain came from an extremely rusted out '78 Grand Marquis that was left in a field for a couple decades. Although the engine runs like new, the transmission did not last long. It's definitely not due to the fact that i ran it dry of fluid and neutral dropped it a few times in an attempt to free up the brakes in the Marquis. I picked up a junkyard transmission to replace it and also installed a 9 inch Limited slip axle as an upgrade over the 8 inch open diff. Lastly, I installed the proper big-block springs up front and then covered some work on my girlfriends 1986 BMW E28, as I may have made a mistake when rebuilding the cylinder head.
