Would a 1980 Ford Granada have a 9 inch in it?

It has a 255 or 260 V8 in it with a C4 tranny. How would I be able to tell?

Thanks.

Most likely it does.

Look at the case; if it's a chunk style with no inspection cover, it's a 9". If it has an inspection cover it's something else, some C-clip type unit, maybe 8.8".

It's basically a 1980 Mustang (with 4 doors?). I don't think it'd have the 9". I don't think they put the 8.8" into the fox bodies until '86 or whatever. Probably just a 7.5"

could be wrong but I don't think it's a 9"
