I'm thinking of swapping the 2.76 to a 3.55 on my 68 Dart, but being my first post (yippy) and brand new to older cars, cost estimation eludes me |

The stock 2.75 Differential to something with more kick. Sence it woant be a highway car, I'm not as worried about top speed as much as I am showing some crappy ricers what even american 6 muscle can do. |

Rug was asking what size rear not the current gearing...the estimated price will depend on your rear and the shop in your area (7.25, 8.25, 8.75...Ford?)... The last time I had my 8.25" in for a swap from 2.94's to a 3.55 it was about $350 plus they reconditioned the sure grip for me and it was a very reputable shop... I expect my next one to cost much more... That really isn't too bad considering that an 8 3/4" would run about $500 for the 'chunk'/ center section... -D.Idiot |

That shop is here in Salem, OR...I won't put them on as they already have more than enough work. They love working on old cars (and are a 3 rd gen family owned shop). -D.Idiot |
