So recently my li'l bro got a '85 5.0, kinda like a Christmas gift and he needed a ride. It was purchased from someone Ive been friends with for 10 years, so I know alot about it. I helped him out by putting on a better exhaust when we got it. It is pretty much stock and original with a rebuilt 8.8 in it and a fresh t5. The 2.73 gears are terrible and I told my brother we should swap in some 3.73's and convert to 5 lug. I have SN95 rotors and calipers from my 2000 GT since I upgraded to 13" Cobra's. He could also use my stock 17x8's since I have Cobra R's now. Since we are trying to do this on a budget I was wandering if slightly used gears would be OK, or because of wear patterns cause problems? I usually spend the $$ to do things right but my brother doesnt have much of an income and was trying to find a less expensive way to do the gear swap. I have payed to install gears on 3 different vehicles in the past and want to start doing it myself. I know what tools I will need, and seeing I can pretty much do any other work on a car/truck am up to the task. Sorry for the long rambling....
