SN95 Rear End Parts

- Ford Racing Traction-Lok for 28 spline axles - $100? (probably has 20 or so weekends on it, been rebuilt once)
- Stock 1996 28 spline axles (63k miles)- make an offer
- Stock 2.73 gears - make offer
- Stock 1996 differential - make offer

Figured I'd post this stuff here first before going to Craigslist.

I'll give you $20 for the gears...

My 97 cobra came stock with 3:27 gears. The gt's from 96-98 should have been the same.

Stock was 2.73 with a manual, but there was an option to upgrade to 3.27's. Pretty sure these are 2.73's, but I will double check.

Ratio numbers should be stamped on the gears. I didn't know that once and ended up with 3.08s instead of the described 3.27's. Ah youth.....

I'm looking for a good, tall, highway gear to use on a future build...

Confirmed they were 2.73's. 41 teeth on ring gear / 15 teeth on pinion = 2.733. Repeating of course*.

Bonus points for anyone that actually gets that reference.

No, eventually planning on building a '65 Cobra Daytona Coupe and need a good highway gear for getting to/from work... many years down the road, but have to start planning now.

This just sold on the Bring-a-trailer auction.

As for gears, runs something more aggressive and then put a Gearvendor overdrive on it.

That is exactly what I'm planning on (and basic budget to build).

$21,990 will get you the complete kit, short driveline, paint, and tires. My plan would be to retire the AI car to cannibalize the driveline/brakes/wheels.

Thanks for clearing that up Marshall! Now we can quit trying figure out how you were planning to gain a competitive advantage by running 2:73's and get back to work.

They work great for me, I only use 1st and 2nd gear at most tracks, TWS I have to use 3rd! :confused:

At one point, I was thinking of a 351W based 408ci stroker motor for the AI car and then put a really tall gear in it so I could run a lower RPM at the top end (with a reduced rev limiter in the computer)... The engine is still in the corner of the shop just as greasy and ugly as it was when I bought it 11 years ago... I "think" it's an early '70's casting (from what I was told at the time)... Not too bad for $50. It cost more in gas to drive to Oklahoma to pick it up and drag it home. :)

Too much weight up front!

Which is part of the reason why it never happened... I couldn't justify 75lbs of additional nose weight that couldn't produce any extra "aero" weight... :)
