gears I just did a complete rear end swap from 2.73s to 3.23s, i only gained .17 et and 1 mph. It was not worth the effort. 
Now i have major traction issues on street tires, lots of wheel spin that i didn't have with 2.73s. 
I got more gain when i installed my HPPIII, .25 et. 
If i did it over again i would keep the 2.73s and install a good 3200 Vigilante converter. 
To answer the question, you will need a 3 series carrier and install kit that can be bought from SLP for 200.00 bux. Hope this helps.
