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!
Really? Dam people being telling me if I have ford instill them it wouldn't mess up my warranty.. Guess I need to call! And nope on the 4.10 bc to much highway around me lol I had them in my 90 Gt and lets just say I was looking for the gas stations every-time I got out in it lol

The new 5.0L's have much more overdrive than the old 5.0L's, so the 4.10's won't impact fuel economy nearly as much as in the old days. I ran 3.73's in my '89 LX 5.0L and the 3.73's in my '11 5.0L get way better mileage than the '89 ever got on the highway. Don't fear the gear! 4.10's are awesome in the S197's.
