What are your goals for the car? Fun all around driving? Drag racing? Road course? Autocross?
Picking a direction early on in the mod cycle will save you a lot of money and will result in a more well rounded modified car.

I've swapped gears in most every Mustang I've owned, and the 8.8" rear end is super tough, so don't worry about warranty. Get the gears (4.10's FTW) - you'll thank us later!
