Ford 373s good choice

How did you get it out ? Talk about a PITA.

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 17, 2019

Well... im going to get my new rear end after work tonight.... my buddy was over working on his truck and im kind of dead in the water till i get parts so i figured i might was well mess with this thing. so i got the torch out and heated everything up cut some of the pin out and used a big punch and hammer and got it out. im just gonna sell the gears and re coop some of my money on the other rear end.

i think i have a few other parts sold too so im in good shape still

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 17, 2019

Well.... went 2 hours to get my rear end. And the guy hosed me. Said it was a 327, and it ended up being a 273. Gonna see about a set of gears that’s in a buddy pick up trailer he made. Hoping 331s if not I can trade another buddy my 373s but was hoping to sell them

That sucks. In case you ever buy another rear end in the future, you can verify the gear ratio in the absence of a tag and without removing the cover by turning the axles and counting how many revolutions the pinion and/or driveshaft make for one revolution of the axles.

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 18, 2019

Yeah i have done that while it was in a car before. i should have done it but i needed a carrier anyways. and it was 100.00 so it is what it is. just sucks i gotta find a set of gears still.

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 24, 2019

Well I got everything cleaned up. Put new brake lines on the axle. Just trying to find a set of gears now still. My supposed friend had a set but I guess he vanished off the face of the earth cause I haven’t heard anything out of him after he said he would bring them over.

My control arms came in to so that’s cool!

no kidding...

we are building that Silverado in my back stall at the moment and hes been getting a lot of my help lately cause my cars setting on jack stands with nothing ready to go for it.

looks like this weekend i will be cutting wood since it supposed to be in the single digits with wind gusts.

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 25, 2019

Got my ground effects on last night. That’s a plus. Got my new back tires in as well so should have them mounted this weekend

Any update on the gears?

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 27, 2019

Well... we will see tomorrow if I have a set of 3.08s when I get there. He said the pinion gears a little mushroomed on the threads but I think I can fix that part of them.

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 28, 2019

good and bad news. i got the gears. they are 3.27's

now i just need to see if i can fix the threads on the pinion gear

stanglx2002 · Jan 28, 2019

Hopefully you are able to fix them... That's a good gear ratio IMO

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 28, 2019

yeah i have seen alot of turbo ford guys running that gear.

keep me in your prayers lol

Anti_Hero0932 · Jan 29, 2019

Well good news. Got the gears in and got the rear end in. Gonna finish up the brakes tonight and hopefully have it back on the ground
