Gear Selection

I have a 95SC 5 speed. I was thinking about a ring and pinion change and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. I was thinking about 3.73's and wanted to know if they were to steep for daily driving in a five speed. Also if you have done this swap, what do I need to look for specifically i.e. splines etc. Will mustang gears work? Any other comments welcome-
 
3.08s from a mark VIII or Regular Bird.
3.27s From and Auto SC. If you dont plan on getting alot of power from the engine.
After that I dont recomend anything else.


Do a search its been discussed lots of times.
 
I have 3.27s in my 5-speed, and first gear is nearly useless. I have to shift into second very quickly, and because there's not a lot of load on the car it doesn't build as much boost as it could. At 60 mph I'm doing right about 2000 rpm. With 3.73s you're going to be shifting into second at 8 mph and revving the snot out of the engine at freeway speeds.

Thanks, I did a search for gears and not much came up. Once I started looking for 3.08 I found what I needed- thanks.
