hopefully the end of gear debates!!
there has been much debate lately over where to buy gears from. people say if you buy from 50resto.com they are ford gears made by motive and not as good. well i contacted someone to set me straight on gears and part numbers. im going to post a small exerpt from buyfrodracing.com :All Year 3.73 Ring Gear & Pinion Set
Replaces our popular M-4209-F373. New manufacturing technology utilizing a Face Hob Process which features a single pass pinion tooth machining operation compared to a conventional three pass process for machining. CNC cut and lapped gear teeth. Higher strength and better quality gears are produced with the Face Hob Process. Note: These new gears look a little different, the gear teeth are cut on a different angle and the ring gear has a bevel on the back of the gear.Not legal for sale or use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles.
NOTE:Next Day Air Shipping Not Available on Ring & Pinion Orders.
Part Number: 4209-F373N
NOW someone said they contacted 50resto.com and told them that their gears ended in "m" ,which is supposedly from motive gears, and not a which supposedly are ford gears. this is simply not true, i think they may have misunderstood because my 3.73 gears that i ordered from 50 resto .com DID NOT end in "m" rather they began with "M". now if you read the exerpt above from fordracing.com you will see they have a new machining process that makes their gears better than before. the part number on my gears from 50resto is exactly the same number as fords new gear, M-4209-F373N, in which the only difference in the old and the new process is the new letter "N", for the new machining process. all ford gears begin with "M". now there is absolutely no difference in these gears from ford racing.com and the gears i bought from 50resto.com. if someone has said the gears are not good just because they paid alot more for them somewhere else then you will have to live with that, but dont talk crap about other peoples product from other websites if you have no clue. in ending please dont believe the hype everyone is saying about these 50resto gears, theres no difference. my gears are great!!
