Ford LTD II Parts & Accessories

Ford LTD II Parts & Accessories

The Ford LTD II was produced from 1977 through 1979 as an intermediate-size personal luxury coupe and sedan built on the Torino platform, positioned between the compact Granada and the full-size LTD in Ford's lineup. It used the same 351 Modified, 400, and 460 cubic-inch engines that powered the final Torino and Gran Torino models, and its body shared significant sheet metal with those cars. Ford targeted the LTD II at buyers shopping personal luxury cars like the Chevrolet Monte Carlo and Pontiac Grand Prix, using a formal roofline and longer hood to convey luxury rather than performance. This collection supports owners and restorers of the LTD II with the mechanical and cosmetic components needed for these mid-century intermediates.

Popular Upgrades

LTD II owners most commonly focus on Pertronix electronic ignition conversions to eliminate the maintenance demands of the factory Duraspark points system, along with carburetor rebuilds or Holley replacement carburetors for the 351 Modified and 400 cubic-inch engines. Front strut replacement with Monroe or Gabriel units and front disc brake caliper rebuilds are the most impactful mechanical maintenance items on high-mileage examples. Performance-focused LTD II owners who prefer the 400 M-block benefit from Edelbrock Performer intake manifolds and a re-curved distributor that unlocks the low-revving potential of this torque-rich engine.

Performance and Handling

The LTD II uses the Torino intermediate platform with a unitized body, coil-spring independent front suspension, and a rear leaf-spring live axle layout that responds to front spring and shock upgrades without requiring major suspension modifications. Tubular lower control arms from Xtreme Fabrication and adjustable upper control arms from Global West are available for LTD II owners who want to correct front alignment geometry for performance driving. The Ford 9-inch rear axle fitted to many LTD II performance applications accepts a broad range of ratio, differential, and axle shaft upgrades still widely available today.

What engines came in the Ford LTD II?

The LTD II was available with the 302 Windsor two-barrel, 351 Modified two-barrel and four-barrel, 400 cubic-inch M-block, and 460 cubic-inch 385-series V8 engines depending on the model year and trim level. The 400 M-block was the most common V8 in LTD II applications given its emissions-friendly torque output, while the 460 was reserved for the S and Brougham trim levels and was available until 1978. Confirming the engine displacement before ordering intake, exhaust, and ignition components is essential because the M-block Modified and 400 share a common block family but differ from the 302 and 351 Windsor in significant ways.

Are Torino and LTD II parts interchangeable?

Yes, the LTD II and Ford Torino share the same intermediate platform, frame dimensions, front subframe architecture, and rear axle mounting, making the vast majority of mechanical components directly interchangeable. Body sheet metal and trim differ significantly between the two, but for engine, transmission, suspension, and brake hardware, the parts catalogs are essentially unified. Ford Ranchero components also cross-reference to LTD II for many mechanical items because of this shared Torino platform heritage.

Why These Parts Fit Right

Parts in this collection are cataloged to the specific 1977 to 1979 LTD II platform, engine codes, and drivetrain configurations to ensure compatibility across the 302, 351M, 400, and 460 applications. Torino cross-references are noted where parts are shared, simplifying sourcing for less common LTD II components. Fast shipping means your LTD II project keeps moving without extended parts delays.
