: How hard is it to replace the gears in a 8"? To change the with another gear set like 3.55's or something. Are there special tools needed or can a back yard mech. do it. I don't mean changing the center sections, but the gears themselves. OR what kind of money are we talking to buy a complete center section from someone like Currie Ent.? Thanks Russ
Mustang II had a 340 gear ratio. I have one that I put in my Mav. The c4 trans and the 340 gear really had a get up to it but for riding around the engine turns up to many rpm's. I took it out and went bck with a 300 instead. I have kept the 279 that came in the car for furure use.
