RE: help with gears
yeah but you guys have to see it from my point of view. in my three speed auto with stock gears in my 69 I'm at 3000rpm's at 70mph.
so 2800rpm's at 80mph in a 5spd for a late model is ok for me.

RE: help with gears
There is a difference in a trac-loc rebuilt kit and a installation kit.
Every shop that I called highly recommended a installation kit.
The $100 dollars Ford Racing one is what you want to get. It comes with the axle seals, bearings, etc. which you should really change.

4.10's for a NA auto are minimum in my opinion..... unless you are doing tons and tons of highway driving.
