I Need Help and Info on Gears ASAP

[mustang88]

i have some 8.8 rearend gears and the numbers on them are different. what i need to know is how to identify them by the numbers on them, i believe the numbers are near the ford symbol. i believe one said 1140 and the other was 14?? but not sure.

count the number of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. Divide the number of ring gear teeth by the number of pinion gear teeth. The resulting number is your gear ratio. (For example, a ring gear with 39 teeth and a pinion gear with 11 teeth: 39 divided by 11 is 3.5454...; these are 3.55 gears)
