Ah, ok! That makes more sense!
Leaning toward the pre-'89 gears then, since I have two sets of them (plus some NOS and some 4sp), and I'm set on a pre-'89 mainshaft. I like the pre-'89 ring and pinion anyway, because they are a higher ratio. I was really pleased with them and the number-8 primaries I had in my old car. Good for cruising.
I have one 1989 box out of the car, plus a '90 box in the car right now. Looks pretty good inside. Is it worth trying to use those gears, since they'll fit on the old mainshaft and are supposedly "strengthened"? Are they actually better, at all?
Thanks for any and all input you have!
