Granada 2.0 twin cam
Sierra 2.0 twin cam ghia (but check the gear stick they could be either)
As for the LSD you would need to check the VIN plates, but even then there is/are no guarantees.

Thanks, when you say check the gearstick.... what do you mean but that. Is reverse in a different place or something like that?
What about the late XR4i that was a twin cam?

checking gear stick
the type 9 box has revers next to 1st as fitted to xr4i and 2.0/1.6 pinto and 1.8 cvh
the mt75 box has reverse next to 4th but you have to lift a tab to make the slection as fitted to xr4x4 and 2.0 twin cam cosworth 4x4
the t5 box has revers next 4th but is a direct shift best box off the lot + 7.5 lsd

as above a 2.0 DOHC should have most of that granny or sierra (make sure its got rear discs or there is no chance of an LSD)
the LSD is unlikley unless its an XR4 (don't think they made many 2.0 XR4i's though)
the granny 24v cossies have 7.5" LSD's (apart from ones with traction control) with bolt-on driveshafts (100mm CV's - same as
standard granny's) - so this is a strait swap for the one on a 2.0 DOHC
they use bigger rear disc though with vented calipers (different hub carriers + calipers)
and all that assumes they didn't just trow in whatever was handy in the factory - so best to check 
(alot of the late cars are a bit of a mix and match from the factory...)
also if you need front hubs the granny ones are a little different...

Thats good info thanks, can the front granie hubs be easily modified or is it best to stay with the sierra 2wd hubs?

depends what your fitting them too I think (there geometry is slightly different)
I can't use them on my dax, but a few folk on here have used them with bigger mushroom inserts but I don't know if they had to change
anyting else
you can fit the granada front hubs into the sierra uprights - but they need machined down to fit the sierra bearings (and you need a couple of 5mm
spacers and longer bolts to get the calipers to fit over the granada discs)
but all your gaining here is 5 stud fron't hubs, if you just want a matching set you can swap over the rear hubs without any mods at all (giving
you 4 stud hubs all round)
