gear interchange questions

I can get a good deal on some 4.88 gears that were in a front 8" from a 4cyl.
I have a 94 v6... I am wondering if I can use these gears for my rear or if they do not interchange? If they work I was just going get them setup on a different 3rd with a spool.

Thanks
Chadwick

...they're used gears. Make sure you inspect them for any imperfections and what not.

yes yes I was going to do that. I was just making sure the 8" front 4 cyl gears would fit the 8" rear 6cyl. Thanks for the quick reply man.
