Last vehicle I modded, blew the tranny & rear in front of the house, after detailing the ride, to see how far I could burnout. Motor was up to the task, nothing else.. IF U CAN, do it all at once, or get ready to spend some coin.

parts arent that bad, install is the same as gears more or less. So get an 03 cobra diff and 31 spline axles, and then weld the axle tubes and reinforce the torque boxes.

i swear i just saw the paper the other day and now i cant find it...install was like 320, posi was 289 i believe, gears were prolly like 100? and i think the axles were like 250-300? then like misc. fluids and whatnot were like 100...so thats like $1100 for the rear im gonna estimate. then the 18" MT DRs were $500 for the pair, maybe a lil more

Eaton Positrac, 3.73's, + install set me back I believe $11 or $1,200.00 w/ the labor. If I remember correctly,the fully built auto. set me back @ $4200.00... Off the top of my head...Figures could change tomorrow after reciepts are located. Everything purchased new at a shop where I was a first time customer....

It was chevy product. 3000 Prec. Ind. stall. Vette servoe's Stage 3 shift kit, vac. mod. kit., After my set up, 2ft of rubber w/ 20" tires- every 2nd gear shift. I was satified. Did have to bring it back to the shop 2x to soften up gear shifts, otherwise 1/4 pedal would turn over 2nd gear and get really annoying. I was happy w/ the work... Please let me know if the Fords are easier on the wallet.. Look to stall & rebuild soon.

Here in Houston there is a guy who pulls your tranny, builds it to support over 700 and put It back in for $1000. Then buy a new stall + tranny cooler + shift kit will run you close to 2k. Fully built. Btw. I'll be in new Orleans Friday Saturday an Sunday. Might see you there. Lol. And I don't even know you.
