tjames · January 13th, 2008, 06:21 PM

the 7.5 will hold up to the 5.0 unless its heavily modified

HMUSN · January 13th, 2008, 06:22 PM

your edited post is wrong information

my bad i had all the posts confused, i had it right the first time. i didnt see that he was asking what rear end he had, i thought he was just asking if his rear end would hold up to the 5.0 then your post confused me, i thought you were saying they had a 7.5. so ya anyway i was confused

should i put gears in it or leave it alone

tjames · January 13th, 2008, 06:38 PM

its up to you. gears and a t-loc are always a good upgrade no matter what!

HMUSN · January 13th, 2008, 06:38 PM

i would put gears in it.

gears are a great mod.
if you are using the 7.5 rear end I would also suggest getting a traction lock installed at the same time.

aday28 · January 13th, 2008, 06:41 PM

i have a ranger with 373 gears but i think its a 8.8 rear would the gears work

no, the 7.5 and 8.8 need different gears, you need gears for the 7.5

aday28 · January 13th, 2008, 06:43 PM

ok thanks

no u need gears for a 7.5
also if u r puting the 5.0 in a good t-lock would help to beef up ur rear end to handle the more power.

aday28 · January 13th, 2008, 06:44 PM

what would be better 373,410

do you have a donor car to get all the parts from? otherwise might as well sell your car and buy a 5.0, i would be cheaper then buying everything to swap it over

aday28 · January 13th, 2008, 07:06 PM

i have a 87 5.0 carb already and know how to wire it up
