Greetings young man, welcome to the mad house.
There are a few on here who have done similar to yourself, NeilP comes to mind, although he is using the Luego Viento chassis.
I believe that you will find it easyest to use Sierra Front uprights and Sierra rear drive plates (You know, the bits that you actually bolt the rear
wheeels onto) on the rear Granada hubs as you will find the front Granada hubs to big/heavy and the geometry is slightly differeny to Seirra so it
will make it easier wheel wise to just swap the rear dive plates to Sierra items as they are interchangeable.
I hope this helps.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Welcome to the madhouse!
Sounds like a good choice of donor. May i suggest you read the haynes roadster book aswell as uncle ron's locost book if you havnt done so
already. You may find it easier to fit your choice of engine with the extra inches 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Im using a 1.0 polo rad which cools my 6 pot fine so should be fine for yours too. They are pretty cheap too!
