Yeah i figured, thanks for the advice and info!
There definitely coming soon, and ive found a diff out of an xr8, but i dont know whether to put the 3.45 in or wait and put 3.73 gears in, 3.45 goes well in mums xr8 but mine having that extra 150kg over hers i think i might need to go 3.73 to get the same feel. What are your thoughts on gears?

I've got 3.91s in my T1 with the T5 manual and it sits at around 2600rpm at 100km/h. I would say of the mods I've done so far it was definitely the one which made the biggest improvement. Fuel economy hasn't suffered at all, if anything it improved. |

I'll back that up, my economy has improved too, although most of my driving is around town where its most beneficial. Although with a BTR it sits on 2250 rpm at 100 kph, not as high as your's Bottledup.

Just on the topic of diff gear swap ... When you say your going to swap over the gears in an xr8 diff ... Which I am assuming is the 3:45 ratio to 3:91 ratio ... What does that actually entail regarding parts to swap and estimated cost of labour ??
For when I enquired into it I was quoted around $1600.

3.9s were the best thing I ever did to my 5.0 T5 AU ute.
Improved fuel economy and just made it so much nicer to drive. Might even do it to the missus 5.0 AU3 Ghia one day. |

My guy was saying .. If you replace the gears you need to replace something else ?? Can't remember ... Plus he wanted to use gears purchased through Herrod ... Plus his labour charge ... Hence the $1600 price tag. He did say he would install ebay gears but would not warranty work (

Diff bearings probably. Mine were replaced at the same time the gears were fitted.

Simplest way is to go on Fordstroker website and look at their beehive Pac springs ... That's what I brought. And you will also need new lifters and Fordstroker seeks the good gear at affordable prices. ... And yes pushrods
![]() More so ... Just email fordstrokers owner " Jim Woods" and he will take care of you
