So, what do you have to do with that? Do you shave the back side until it fits?

That's the idea just continue to install and remove material until the door clears ..

A not so wise man once told me you can make numbers look anyway you want .So I have been chasing numbers and pounds and contemplating drivetrain losses .The set standard of drivetrain loss for the foxbody 5 speed mustang is 15% FIFTEEN. PERCENT ouch some say 12%-15% ..So I get deeper down the rabbit hole .I have a lightened flywheel , aluminum driveline , 12lbs lighter wheels and tires than factory in the rear ..The internet says that aluminum driveshaft will drop .5%-1% of that 15% drivetrain loss Because you can trust the Internet.. Anyways I just wonder how low could one average guy get his drivetrain losses down to 12% 10% 8% we will probably never know .But I want to get my ring gear lighted and have these two new ring gears laying around so what do they weigh ?The first image 8.8 / 3.31 ring gear at 10.8 lbs second photo 8.8 / 3.73 ring gear 11.4 ..

Had a opportunity to buy motive gear 3.73 setup ...And of course I have to know what it weighs Motive gear setup 16.6 lbs vs Ford racing 3.73 gear setup 17.6 lbs.... WoW I was surprised at the difference in weight does anyone have a stock ring gear they can weigh OEM foxbody 2.73 would cool to see the OEM weight.
