Good thing I ran out of the stock D36 when I was installing the motor. If I had to pay for the 3.54 and break it, it would suck. I was thinking of buying a Ford 9 inch when I was with the F-body. I kept breaking gears. 3 sets and spun the bearing. Broke a 3.73, went to a 4.10 and back to the 3.73. Spun the bearing on the 4.10 and broken gear so I had them put in 3.73 while I was looking for parts.
