Default Installing Gears

Ok, guys, need some advice. I have decided to purchase some 3.73 gears. What all do I need. Is it just the 2 peices here in this auction, or am I going to need more than this.

Next, roughly how long does it take to do this. It will mainly be a ford mechanic doing the work, and me being there being the bitch-boy.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that it is a 2003 GT, that rear end bearing kit will fit mine right?

Yes, I dont know why it says 96-98 I clicked the 99-04 button, but all the 8'8 Track-Lok rears were the same through those years.

79-04 are all the same. You def. need a complete install kit with bearings and all!

I have heard of Royal Purple but have never seen it in the stores.

The only way to buy it is online?

No, discount auto has it too, but it is cheaper online from American Muscle. I ordered mine from them, it's free shipping so I saved a few $$ and I had to wait for the gears and bearing kit to get here anyway.
If you are doing the insatll yourself, as I did, here is a great set of instructions: http://www.superstallions.com/tech/d...ars/gears.html
It's a pretty easy job if you take your time.

You'll need to get three of the bottles (three quarts), but you'll only use 2.5.
