Don't waste your money and time with 3.73's. If going NA, 4.30's or 4.10's with a power adder.

350-500 depending on where and how you negotiate.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I thought the 96 thru 98 GT's came stock with 3.08's. If that's the case then I think going with 3.73's would be like going to 4.10's in the 99 and GT's. Those came stock with 3.27's. JUst a thought. Pearl02.

He is going with a 4V motor in that car so he will benefit from 4.30 gears. 2V's work well from 4.10's as well. I had 3.73's in my old 97 GT and swapped them for 4.10's.

When i got mine i didnt' get a rebuild/install kit. Now i'm going through a rebuild. If i could go back and do it again i would have gotten the bearing kit. Might as well do it all at once
