What's a good price for 8.8" 3.73s? I've seen new for $150+, how much for used?
I jsut got a set of used ford racing 4.10s
With around 400 miles on them, with a good tlok unit for 50. Shop around you can find some deals.
I've got the opportunity to get a set for $50 + $25 for delivery.
(I just need the ring and pinion.)
Price is good for good gears, shipping a little high.
For a total of $75 not bad. You will still need the kit to install about $40,
When I had the pumpkin rebuilt and the torsen installed, the mechanic found a rag stuff in it. Probably to le the whine the gears make. I should have replaced the gears then.:punchballs:
Okay, thanks for the responses. Maybe I'll wait for a better deal to come along. I'm not in a hurry to pull the pumpkin.
So does the rear whine now without the rags?
Yeah, believe it or not, I decided to leave the rags out this time.
Never heard the gears in action before installing the IRS.
I'm lost at what your saying? You had the pumkin built, What ?they took the rag out?.
Ok reread, you had it done now you what gears?
Yes, when I had pumpkin built, they found a rag stuffed in there. Left it out when they put it back together. Original gears, rebuilt pumpkin with new diff.
I was hoping to stick close to stock final drive ratio, so kept the 355s original to 8.8 pumpkin.
(345 gears + stock size tires ~= 355 gears + my tires)
Now I'm thinking that even after the new motor, it's going to drive better with 373s, which means I need to find the correct speedo cable gear too.
Stick or auto?
stick, FTW!
