3.90's are an odd ball. Doubt you'll find a deal on those. G/L though.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/motive390.html ..... FYI...most FRPP gear sets are Motive sets, part numbers ending in "M" or "N" (ie. M-4209-F373N or M-4209-G430M are Motive sets). When installed correctly they don't have any problems.

Forgot to add....FRPP installation instructions for the gears, are a C&P of Motive Gears installation instructions.....including the diagrams used.

well are they good? i found to sets of 4:10s one is ford and one is motive. the motive are 30 dollars cheaper. but i would be more than happy to pay the extra 30 if the ford set is better.
