I had a 77 Granada. I loved that car. I bored, bigger cam, Aluminum intake and redid the heads, shift kit in the tranny. It was a Camero Killer I dusted so many
Chevy's and it drove and rode nice.

It was a 302 with a c4 I swapped heads from a Mustang on to it. Don't remember but I think it had smaller heads a 2v but can't remember that was a long time ago.

Now there's a name you don't here very often !

No kidding. BIL had a '76 Ghia 2D with a 302 through college. Cherry little car that I sold him for... $1200 (?) I think. Heck, that was 25 years ago.

I pulled a 351W from one and stuck it in a 79 Mustang... at 150,000 miles, it still made the little Fox body fly...

There is a black one here in town that still looks sharp. It even has the factory hubcaps still on it.
