Default 4.10 gears in 2000 Firehawk

Finished up installing 4.10 gears in buddys 2000 Firehawk. Unsure of exactly all mods, but i know it has a cam and is silly quick. Im a Mustang guy but the F-bodys rear ends are pretty much the same so i lended a helping hand for a good friend and fellow tech. I cant remember his name on here, but im sure he will chime in. Decided to snap a few pics, my mustang is down right now getting a make over ( H/C/I and blown ). So it was REALLY nice of him to let me take it for a ride....Needless to say im a LSx lover. haha.
























AND....my mustang.

Thanks for the props on the car, Matt.

We were there half the day, but wasted alot of time driving for bearings, eating lunch, and screwing around. Id say we prob. actually worked on it for MAYBE 3-3.5 hrs.

Ill tell ya, the cam made a big difference, but the gears compliment the cam really well, and the car seems like a totally different machine with the combo! Now I cant wait for the long tubes, intake, and heads!!!
