Did the Scorpio Ultima (95-99) with the 2.9 Cosworth V6 have an LSD???

We have one locally very cheap that i could rip apart,Its done 90k

The easiest way to tell - is jack the rear end off the floor - spin one wheel, if the other spins the same way = LSD, if spins opposite, NON-LSD...

Yes,it should be fitted with, a 7.5" 3.36 ,ratio lsd,slightly different ratio from the normal 3.38 ratio fitted to some sierra's,and they are 7" diffs

But im guessing a better ratio for a BEC.

PAUL FISHER - 7/3/08 at 12:05 PM

Yes good ratio for most Bec's ideal for your 929 blade,the 7.5 diffs weigh a bit more than the smaller 7",but I would not worry about than,its a cheap way of getting a good ratio LSD,you do need to build your rear diff brackets to suit,7.5" wide.

Wont be a problem,Chassis is in its early stages and non of the diff frame is in yet,Just getting the main bits together so they can be linked together really and get it on its wheels asap

It will be a 7.5" diff with 100mm bolt-on flanges - but I thought they were a 3.64 ratio, same as the early granada 24v's ???

and that the later ones had traction control instead of an LSD ????

found this on the FSOC forum:

I've finally found the diff ratios and codes for the Granada/Scorpio.

86-94:

A=3.36
U=3.62
3=3.64
T=3.91
D=3.92

95-98:

A=3.36
3=3.64
7=4.09
2=4.27

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this should be the engine/diff combinations.

1.8 OHC 3.62
2.0 OHC 3.62
2.0i OHC 3.62
2.0 8v (89-92) 3.92 (or 3.91)
2.0i 8v (89-94) 3.92 (or 3.91)
2.0i 8v 4.09 (95-98 )
2.0i 16v 4.27
2.3i 16v 3.91
2.4i 12v 3.64
2.8i 12v 3.62
2.8i 12v 4x4 3.62
2.9i 12v 3.64
2.9i 12v 4x4 3.62
2.9i 24v 3.64
2.5 D 3.64
2.5 TD 3.36

Yes the engine will be available complete with wiring and ECU.

Im in Lincolnshire which may be a problem but i could get one of the wagon companys we use (Intake Transport) to deliver it as there up north everyday

Or you can collect

mcerd1 - 7/3/08 at 12:36 PM

that just leaves the big questions

what condition is it in ? (runner or not)

& how much would you want for it if you go ahead with stripping the car ?
