henkster 19 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 Guys, I was given some very low miles 3.23 gears from a 2014 mustang. Does anybody know if they will cause problems in a 1970 coupe with a 8.8 rear end. Previous owner put in 4.11 gears in the coupe and i want to cruise more on lower RPM's .The engine is a original 302. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogerC 151 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 302 auto trans? Probably came with 3.00 or 2.79 gears from the factory so 3.23 gears should be fine. Former B-52 guy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRASTiK 22 Report post Posted May 3, 2016 I swapped from 2.79 to 3.25 gears (top loader). It's a great compromise between cruise-ability and acceleration on demand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
