if i am planning to change my rear end gears, is it really necessary to replace my girdle as well? what will happen if i leave the stock on one?? thanks

nah you can leave it on, will not hurt a thing as long as its now bent or dented or leaking. Upgrade if you have the money but don't worry about it.

Colt it seems like you just got into these cars let me give you a little hint. Go buy a mustang 5.0 magazine and a Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords magazine and read them from cover to cover you will be alot better off.

I have been building these cars since the good ole days where you could buy fox bodies new and there was no aftermarket. Your car absolutely does not need the rear girdle save the $$$ and buy a throttle body or a maf.
