looking to put new gears in stock rear end of my v6 stang. will the stock 7.5 rear end handle the torque of 3.55s or should i just swap an 8.8 rear end from a v8 with the stock 3.27s?

 

if the gear ratio is made for a 7.5" diff, then yes, it will work. The only thing the 8.8 swap would get you would be the t-lok, but if your going to change out gears anyway, id suggest putting in a t-lok when you put your gears in the 7.5 to save time.

 

Well..I have the 4.10's and a T-lok..and I LOVE the setup. It will EASILY take most mods without even flinching.

 

they dont make 3.55s for our size rear end, you need 3.45s, i would say go with 4.10 gears and a t-lok but im going to wait for someone who has no clue what they are talking aboot to come and tell me im wrong

 

3.45's are a nice gear for singleports but are not enough different than stock 3.27's in 99+'s to make a difference. go 3.73's or 4.10's

 

Dont listen to MustangMan he has no clue what hes talking about!!! 4.10's are you crazy that gonna KILL his gas mileage!!! GEEZ deff. go 3.73's!!!








HAHAHA J/K Go 4.10's without a doubt!!!!!

 

N/A weekend car, get a 8.8 with 4.30
N/A power/centrif = 4.10
blower 3.73
turbo = 3.45

 

This has got to be the 1 billionth time this has been asked this month.

 

Actually, 1 billion adn 1.

 

well the mods should just post a link to the sticky and lock the thread everytime one of these come up, i have responses for gears, auto-manual conversions, octane, CAI and other crap stored on word documents and i just copy and paste them
