I know this is not a tech question but I installed a rear end with 3.73's FMS gears and now my car is too fast to drive! I use the car for a daily driver and the 3.73's are just too much for me..I will trade anyone on here for another rear end with less powerful gears..like 3.27's or 3.08's..I removed the rearend and there is nothing wrong with it..I just cant use it and dont want to put the orginal 2.73 rearend back in it..I live in Akron, Ohio and if you want, you can email me at sburkholder@neo.rr.com or call me on my cell at 330-714-5016 thanks!

I might not have wanted everybody to know his name.

My motor had over 150K miles on it 6 years ago when I put my 373's in and I've never had a problem. And I drive all over the place. It's my only car. The 347 should be nice though.

If I still had my original 3.27's instead of my 4.10's , I'd trade you in a heartbeat! I live in Canal Fulton , Ohio which is like 45 minutes from Akron. I'm sure some one will trade.

Just keep the gears. It will run a little higher rpm but its not bad. Gas milage wont change much. I have 3.73 gears in my vert and its dail driver. Youll get used to it.
