    The Rev's right on that. Those kits are pricey little puppies, like around $800 USD$ !!!

    Here's a short thread on it:

    The Lincoln Versaille was based on a Granada chassis. Really popular brake swap with Fairmont/Zephyr folks too.

    Here's a 1955 T-Bird disc brake swap, using corvette parts::hmmm:
