...my two cents: Ford gears are just fine. I've used Richmond as well in other cars with great success and no problems.
Last week I was quoted $130 for installation (plus additional costs because of the read disc brakes
and speedo calibration).

To calibrate your speedometer, you'll need to replace the drive and driven gears (speedo cable and tailshaft). The gears are about 7-10 bucks each. The speedo gear is a simple in and out procedure, but the tailshaft gear is much more involved and another thing better left to your installer. With the speedo calibration, I was quoted a total of $300.00 labor. That's 300 plus the 160 for gears (shop around online!)plus the install stuff, so you could be looking at about 350-400 bucks without disc brakes.

Very well worth it.
