Unless it's severely been beat on, it's not the bearings. It's the install.
I believe buyfordracing.com has the gears for $130. Go 4.10's!

go with 4.10's i have 3.73 on my 00 gt and i want 4.10 cause modular engines perform better at higher rpm and 4.10 will get u there quicker than 3.73.

I think im going with the 4.10's because my 3:73's are cool but i want some more gear with my suspension because it hooks good right now so i dont think 4.10 will hurt?

Albert go with 373s on the Saleen..remember it is still a modular car..373s should put you in the right spot after shifting in that 96 saleen.

i actually traded it in for the 2000..

no one was wanting the 97...it was going for $6500 and no one wanted it..and you know how much work i put into it..and you know how nice it was..

yea modular does eat the rpms quick...especially if youre s/c'd so im guessin a 3.55 would be good. thats whats in the 5.0 right? how is the saleen by the way? running better? tino keeps callin me to go to the track but i work night on weekdays [Frown] but i will eventually take a wednesday off..well off to work now..

I'm thinking about getting the gears soon, how much am I looking at for the 4.10s and where can I get them installed in the East Bay. Thanks in advance.
