Rear end help

I want to put 3:73 gears into my car. I have the stock 10 rear end for a 5.0 but engine is now 5.7. What do i exactly need to make it happen? Thanks

The gears that your car currently has is the determining factor, not motor size. Check the following link for info that may provide food for thought:

Re: Rear end help

You will need a set of gears and a good installation kit. You will also need some special tools, or you will need to take it to someone who knows how to do the job right. This is not a simple bolt on. Setting up gears requires some special skils.
