Gears to Buy/Install what brand?
i'm getting gears and have my mind set on 3.73 for my 1991 gt
with the hatch i'm thinking of 3.73 rather then 3.55 as more weight and #2 also want something that will be suitable for around town.
my posting is to find out what others would get for a gear brand. Motive Performance Plus 3.73 Mustang Gears or
Ford Racing Gears - FRPP 3.73 Gears/Richmond/Summit etc from what i read motive gears are the same as ford racing but cheaper 179 compared to like 149 or whatever it was. richmond i heard sometimes have issues as they tend to make whine noise and even when shimed correct. summit i dunno haven't hear much about them. My engine specs below any comments welcome.
things changed sence new engine install
pcv valve
o2 sensors
cap/rotor
plugs
timing at 10 degrees and 34 with full advance
NEW ENGINE SPECS:
engine is 306
forged pistons
eagle h beam rods i belive
1.6 Comp roller rockers
stud gurdle or whatever
extreme energy comp cam
center force dual fricton clutch
power plus upper and lower
c&l 76mm
24 lbs injectors
cold air intake
roush heads
mac h-pipe with hi flow cats
flowmasters
Things still needing to be changed/added in the next while
stock 2.73/3.08 gears whatever came in the 1991 gt 5.0 to be changed t0 3.73s
stock headers/until my mac's come
elec fan & rad to be added rather then clutch fan
Nos 150 shot
decent tire after this stuff of course

RE: Gears to Buy/Install what brand?
Either Richmond of Ford Racing... I've heard good things about both of them. You should def. do a rebuild kit on the rear. Have you ever checked out the ra-tech kit?
