Hi all,
I am looking for a source to buy ring and pinion gears for my 87 Raider front diff. Way back when (early 90's) I blew up the 2.6 that was in it. Since a new motor then was pretty hard to find back then, I decided to slightly modify my Raider and put a Ford V8 302 in it. Motor went in pretty easy only problem was the trans and transfer case didn't have clearance. A 2 inch body lift took care of that problem. Bigger problem was that with the stock 4.87 gear ratio I was running way to high RPM's going down the road at 60. 0-30 was great (about 2 seconds). Bought a 3.7 ratio gear set for the back end (same as used in the Conquest Tsi) and had it put in. RPMs are no longer a problem at high speeds. I can now run it as fast as I want. Problem is I never switched out the front gears so it has only been running in 2wd since the swap. Vechicle has been parked for the last 8 years (job, wife, life...) but now it is making its return to life. I want to finally swap the front gears out and get the 4x4 working but can't locate a source for a 3.7 ratio set. Any one know of a source for a set?
