Have a rear end shop do it. Unless your a skilled technician don't attempt it. What are your thoughts about 3:73's?

How street able are they I plan on putting a 351 in it with about 400HP. Would that be to much of a gear? I eat my tires up with the 2.73 that I have now. What kind of MPG would I get. Thanks.

I see you have 3.55, when do you shift??

I got a quote of $275 For the labor is that about right, I am having it done in the car. Is there a difference in the brands of gears?? Thanks

I'd go w/ the 3.55's if I were you (especially if yo ever plan on adding a blower).
