ring and pinion gear installation

chiaronate · 10-26-2002, 05:26 PM

hey, guys. is there anyone out there in the upstate new york area that installs ring and pinion gears? i have all the parts ready to install. i currently have 2.73's and i have 3.73's to replace them. i'm also wondering how much horsepower i can make on a stock 1994 302 by adding a 70 mm throttle body, 73mm mass-air sensor, 1.7 ratio roller-rockers, and trick flow intake manifold. how much horsepower will this make with the stock e7te cylinder heads and stock cam?

A better mass air sensor might be good, I'd probably stay with a 65mm tb. The trick flow intakes are supposed to be good, some port work would definitely help with the intake/1.7 rockers. I got a Standard Abrasives porting kit from Jeg's for around $40 I think. Check out their site standardabrasives.com, you'll get a pretty good idea on what to do if you don't know already, I'd also go to a sears or hardware store and get a metal grinding bit (the cylinder shape ones, about 1" long, 1/2 thick or cone shaped), their good for grinding large amounts quick, the sandpaper ones clog up after a while and take too long. Anyway, match up the ports and clean them up, especially the exhaust, I ground off the bumps and smoothed/polished them. I'd think you'd be well into the 13's.
