Re: rear gear ratio
The 94 GT auto's had an AOD-E and a computer with a 5500rpm rev limiter. No way in hell would I put 4.10's in them. With a stock sized tire 95~97 mph in drive is all you are going to get. A 3.73 is a much better choice.

Re: rear gear ratio
355 or 373 5 speed.........410 auto...i would only get the ford racing gears they are machined very well and usally dont need to shim them ..get some new clutchs for them limited slip(when i do the clutchs i usally add an extra .15 shim so its tighter)...make sure u check the pinon depth/pattern and the lash(around .08 thou)
good luck...if u need some good instructions on installing them i can e-mail u some pointers

Re: rear gear ratio
Decide WHAT this car will be used for primarily. Stick to that, all your decisions will fall into place for you.
I love my 4.30s, And I got 23mpg with them. Light car, big tire, no accessories, polite driving on long trips. It can be done.

Re: rear gear ratio
It sounds like you have a basically stock car. I would say 3.73's will make you happy for a long time.
