    I'm wondering what gears the 4 cyl fox bodies came with. I'm pretty sure the 5-speed cars came with 3.73's but I'm not sure what the automatics came with and i was hopeing someone could help me out. Thanks for the help....

    i thought i read one time that they came w/ 2.26's or something? I've never heard of that gear, but it's hard to imagine that my old 91 4 banger auto had 3.73's... :rlaugh:

    3.55:1 is for an 8.8" rear. Four cylinder (and six cylinder) Mustang never had a 8.8" rear. So no four (or six) cylinder would have had a 3.55:1 gearset.

    3.45:1 is for a 7.5" rear. All four cylinder (and six cylinder) Mustangs after '82 got a 7.5" rear.
