are the gears the same for 5.0 and 4.6

[bluidvl]

title says it all i have a 90 5.0 and bought a set of 373 for it.just bought a 98gt 4.6 black on black sweet ride any way will the 373 gears fit the 4.6 rear.

I believe so, but check on summit or another site that sells gears and see if they have two different part numbers.

all gear ratios for 8.8 should be the same meaning that there is no different part number for the years for the mustang rear end that is a 8.8 but for a 4.6L mustang you might consider going 4.10's instaed of 3.73's since they can revv higher

 

[bluidvl]

thanx i will stick with the 373 since i have the already new in box

The 8.8 rear end should be the same. You could always sell the 3:73 to a fox body guy and get some 4:10's!

I say an 8.8 rear end is an 8.8 rear end not matter what its out of. That would only make sense. Well in that case why would ford do that.lol

the Fox bodies had a 7.5" rear end until 1986 when the started using the 8.8" in the V8's only. so you should be good.

yup got in touch with cj pony parts where i bought them from and they told me they were the same thanx for the input..

 

[DropTopPony]

8.8's are all the same....so your ok

 

[Mike97gt]

yes it will fit. all the parts are interchangable in the rear end

'85 GT's were the last year for the V8 mustang to have the 7.5 diff .I use to own one.
And yes the 3.73's are good to go for your 4.6'r.
Like everyone else stated,an 8.8 is an 8.8.
