Ford or Motive Gears?

Are the Ford gears worth the extra money? I have also seen two different grades of motive gears and I want to know how they stack up against the ford racing stuff

Yes, but the ford. You can get them cheaper than you think. Just have to look around.

I have Ford gears and they are sound...........I am sure motive is OK.

I think a lot has to do with who is installing them??

gene evans ford down the road from me has the ford 3.73 for under $150, i was told that the ford gears require less shimming during install but I also heard that ford gears were made by motive, but I dont know if thats true.

RE: Ford or Motive Gears?

FRPP for sure, I also have heard the rumor that Ford and Motive work together to produce gear sets, but i haven't seen any castings or gears with both names, if its the case I bet $ Motive's are made in China and FRPP are Canada or USA....
