Anyone know where I can get a gear set?

Hi -
I have TTA #830 in CT. I recently learned that sometime in its past, it was raced pretty hard. It only has 11,000 miles, but I have already rebuilt the tranny in original case. It has always had a rear axle gear / bearing noise so I took it to be checked out. When we took off the diff cover, we
found a couple things- first, the set of gears in there was not original, and is very worn. Also we found three loose teeth from the previous ring gear. Our guess is the original gears were shattered racing...
So I am trying to find out where to buy a set? I am told it was originally a Borg-Warner 3:23 set- is that correct? Does anyone make them?
 
Check eBay, there is a link in a thread I had called driving home and kaboom. Check that out, mike Arrigo posted the links
 
Thanks for the lead on 9bolt.com. Am I right about the 3:23 ratio as the correct match for stock?
 
3:27 is the stock ratio for the original 9 bolt. 3:23 would be for a 10 bolt. I would double check and make sure you still hae the 9 bolt under there before you buy any parts

Good luck on the 9bolt.com they are in Australia and all their gears are used. Only contact is email...I gave up after 3 months of trying. Also their gears are expensive and shipping is high and long as well. Haven't heard of anyone getting gears from them for at least the last 3-4 years.

If you are running a taller than stock tire you should consider a lower gear ratio. I'm running 28" tires and when my ring gear went I stepped up to 3.70 gears from the stock 3.27 and am very happy. Nitro Gear & Axle make a real nice set of gears for the 9-bolt...I ordered mine through http://www.justdifferentials.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_31_76&products_id=2221 for $175
