OK thanks.How about any websites to get the 373 gear install kit and the trac lock kit?So far I found it all on lmr.com.373 kit is $259 and the trac lock kit is $109.I just want to have everything ready.Thanks again for the input.

50resto is probably the best place to get the parts imo...make sure to get the pinion flange, axle bearings, and if you have the extra money, upgrade to 31 spline axles and a FR diff cover...

When I go to 50resto.com it sends me to latemodelrestoration.com.Can you elaborate on the pinion flange?I figured it came in the kit they sell that comes with the 373 rear end gear kit.Wouldn't I have to upgrade the trac lock to 31 spline aslo if I go that route?Definitely looking for a diff cover.Thanks for your input.

Fasho,I'll let you know.I thought there was alot more people that did this on cafords.I have yet to get a price quote on the labor.When I had my first mustang I had two guys that did this for a living.One left the state and the other got lost.So I'm forced to find some one.I'm not necessarily looking for a shop,Just someone with experience that someone could vouch for.

Those are the best prices I've seen.I would definitely do that for my car but I think the 31 spline is a little over kill for her.I would aslo have to find 4 lug 31 splines.Any suggestions on where to get it done?Thanks for the input.

3 to 4 hundred depending on your posi choice. spine count does not matter.

OK.I want to install 373 gears I'm going to buy the kit from 50resto.also want the trac lock rebuilt so I'm also buying the kit from 50resto.lastly want the axle bearings and seals replaced because one has been leaking for awhile so im buying the bearings and seals for that.That would be between 3-4 hundred for labor?thanks for the help.

Sometimes the cheapest price leads to the most headaches... Trust me I've been there. Id personally spend the extra with someone you can trust

I can say that ordering from these guys is AWESOME. my 410s were $126 plus 10 bucks shipping... FMS, great deal... I see people selling there shit used for that. Also sales mean was good to deal with and changed my order for me with no hassle no fee.
