Can't go wrong with Ford Racing. Ford's gears have tight enough tolerances you can take a ring out of one car and a pinion out of another car and be just fine.

I'd like to identify if I already have them installed before I buy, since I know nothing about what the previous owner did to the car all I can ask is, Going 35 in 4th gear it sits a 1 1/2 rpm's. Stock?

As long as they're not made out of plastic I don't think it really matters.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

That's a pretty vague statement. Where were they .080 out of round?
