I am in a very hilly area, so I played it safe and went for the 3.54. The amazing thing is, it climbs the hills around here better than the old 3.78. My engine mods are just a head cut .040 and a "B" carb with a bored out manifold. Yes, there's some improvement, but no one would call it a "Hot Rod". It's more of a dream on the highway. I gave up nothing and gained on all counts. Yes, By all means do it. Be sure to follow Tom Endy's tutorials on Rebuilding ford differentials. It's not a simple process!

That's a heck of an endorsement. I've been wondering about what ratio to go with also. 3.54 sounds good, especially because I have 4.11 now.
