Hey everyone.
I'm getting pretty sold on the idea of swapping to 4.10's in the rear end.
Some of you have done it, and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good/reliable place to get this done for less than a "left-nut" on price?
I'm in the GTA (South Etobicoke) and maybe someone knows somewhere close.
Thanks guys.
:beer:

No help on where to get the gear change. Have you gotten a tune yet? More bang for the buck IMHO. Eh.

Find a place that the Mustang guys use. The rear setup is the same.

Yah...I've been "Zack-ed".

I'm actually thinking of taking the 3.55's and putting into the rear end of my '91 Stang (hence the "good price" question).

I got mine done at Nick's Automotive a few years back but as far as I know the shop has gone under. Maybe give Da Silva a call to see how much he would charge.

I got mine done at Nick's Automotive in Oakville about 4 years ago. He specializes in Mustangs.

^^^ Will check that out.
Did you find it worth it for the price (what was that price anyway?) for the difference in mileage? Just curious as this is not my daily-driver, but don't want to ruin the drive of the car - but might enjoy the fun of 4.10's.

The fun factor and the smile on your face is well worth the very slight drop in mileage.

BTW... you won't ruin the drive of the car.

I don't remember the price but it was the going rate around town. Do you have a tune?

Yah...a Zack (Vers.2) tune.
Why do you ask?

- looks like Nick's has gone. Number doesn't work -

Just so you can switch the speedo.
