i really really want to get some better gears for my car now.. i figure i wont be able to start on the next project for a long time now so i figure i will take car of teh things that are bothering me about my car. first of all is teh damn gearing. i currently have a 3.00 open rear end and want to upgrade that. at the local swaps a complete 3rd member is relativelt cheap. around $75 for one. i want to get around 3.25 or 3.50 ish gears as i have seen them in 28 spline versions. i want to know what is involved with changing out the pumpkin on the car. i havent dont this before and i also want to know if i should look out for anything when buying the pumpkin. will any 9 inch chunk work?? or am i gonna have to read part numbers here? i just want another open rear end center that will help my engine get to its power faster. i also want the speedometer to work too so where can i get a speedo gear for this? is that a big pain to install on the FMX? i have pulled them out of cars before but never bothered to really look at it. ummm. are there yoke differences that i should bother with? i have another 9 inch rear lying around here out of the 70 so i can look back to that for reference ( or spare parts... unless someone wants to buy it of course... ) and will the axles just pop out? heard that they will... umm i think thats about all i can think of right now.
