What rear differential gear do you recommend for the 4.6L?

My brothers 96 GT has the 4:10 gear. It really needed that at the strip & its not bad for the street either. Its his daily driver. 4:30s are not a bad way to go either on a N/A pig like his. If he was just hitting the strip & occasinal street 4:88s at least would have improved his 60'.

I will just try these 3.73s out and see if I need more. No way I would use 4.88s in a street car but I do have some in the closet. I tried to put them in my old 1/8th mile coupe years ago but the cross-pin would not go back in. It was hitting the teeth on the ring gear. I think you have to have a spool to run those.

I think u r right on the spool with 4:88s. Not positive.

the 3.73s will be a good all around choice for you ride. It will give you plenty of pep without sacrificing too much on the upper end. You won't set the drag strip on fire, but you should be respectable.

Detroit locker says 4:88 will work on theirs with modification.
