Hi All,

I want to change the differential gears but I would like to do the work myself. My Mustang is a 1991 LX 5.0. Is there anyone that can help me with this that is close to Mt Airy MD? I am changing from stock gears to 3.73 gears for autocross. Please let me know if anyone can help me.

Thanks,

Hangman1515

I could always use the side work. Mapquest says Mt Airy is 120 miles from me. Too far?

I think that is too far since my car does not and will not have tags. I am insearch for a tow dolly to buy. Thanks for the offer. I hope there are more people like you out there that may be able to help me.

Thanks,
