what gear?

[96stallionGT]

Does anyone know the gear in my 96 gt? Its stock, I do know that but what is the stock gear. I have a buddy that works at a ford dealership and he said there would be a metal tag on 1 of the cover bolts. Ichecked it an the only thing that was close to being a gear was 2:73. Is this correct? I didnt think that year would have that high of a gear. Thanks

I am pretty sure they came with 3:27's, but don't quote me.

Some were 2.73's as well.

My stock gears were 2.73's.

That is actually a real low gear.


2.73's,3.08's and 3.27's were some of the most common gears FORD put in the 94-98.

i believe it was the drop tops that got the 273's and the others had 327's

My 96 vert GT has 3:08's from the factory

 

[96stallionGT]

In a few weeks, Im gonna put in a 4:10 so i guess we will find out then. Thanks Everyone!

I had 2.73's but have heard of 3.08 and 3.27...

Look and see if the tag is still on the rear differential, it is stamped with the gear in it.

or you could jack it up and spin the wheel one full rotation and count how many times the driveshaft turns. Just mark it with chalk or something.

If the tag your talking about is a metel tag held on by one of the bolts then i checked it and the only thing that looked like a gear # was 2L73. there were more nums. and letters but none was close to a gear unless its like a code for a gear #. Oh and there is a white tag around the rearend housing but i didnt check it closely.

Thats the one, you have 2.73 OEM gears
