I have seen installation kits, and master bearing kits. Do I need this and what comes in the Installation kit? Here is a link to the ones I was looking at. http://www.mustangtuning.com/fopege3ra1.html

EDIT: and what about the Motive gears? Are they any good? They cost a lot less and the car is basically stock and will stay like that for a while. So would it be fine to go with the motive gears and upgrade to the Ford Racing when I get out of school and actually start doing stuff to the car?http://www.mustangtuning.com/motive-373-gears-ring-and-pinion.html

i bought my ford gears off e-bay 3.73 gears removed from an explorer for $40 thats one heck of a deal they looked and run like brand new there are alot of people on stangnet that have installed used gears and one post i read one member thought it was foolish to pay $150-$200 for a set of gears when you can get a set for under $60 that will work just as goodas new, i stand by his quote and fully agree i will run a search and post some gears for you to look at.
