If you have an automatic you already have 3.53's I think or close to it.

RE: gears
Normally I would say 3.73s - I just recenltly put them in mine, and I love them. But then again, I have a manual & started with 2.73s. For an auto, I really would do 4.10s. If you plan on building this car, I would recommend going out and buying a beater or something that gets good gas mileage.

RE: gears
foxes only came with 2 gears from ford 2.73's were standard regarless of transmission. 3.08's were optional. the 1993 cobra r came with 3.23's standard, the regualr 1993 cobra came with 3.08's standard. there were no optional gears higher installed from ford.
dont go with 4.10's. yes they rock but as a daily driver im assuming you would like your speedometer to be correct. if you have a 1990+ speedo gear you will need to change a few things inorder for it to be correct. 3.55's is the limit without changing the internal gear in the tailshaft (23 tooth). if you have a 84-89 model you could go with 4.10's and use a 23 tooth gear for correct reading.
