gears

I just don't see the point in swapping the entire axle. Are you gonna be doing lots of different racing on tracks that you would require swapping between the 3.55s and the 4.10s? If not, you just want the ability to switch back and forth from the 4.10s to the 3.55s just on a whim? Seems like a waste of time, effort, and money IMO. You can get a set of 4.10 gears installed with no whine for much less that the cost of a new axle with 4.10s.
Also, after getting the 4.10s I have never seriously considered going back to the stock gears (3.31s in my case). I would not switch back to the 3.55s either. I only considered it when gas was getting pricey, but the gain in gas mileage would not warrant the performance loss and the cost of the gear swap.

The main & #1 reason for this is to be able to lower my 3.55 rear end off, bolt up my 4.10 rear end on, in my garage, and not have to mess with the gears...the "headache-less" swap is worth all the $, plus I could do it myself...can this be done?

I see you are in Texas, are you near Houston? I just talked to Fastlane on FM 1960 (http://www.fastlaneturbo.com/) and they qouted $650 for the gears and install. To me this seems alot cheaper. Also you don't have to hang the full axle on the wall just a few gears .

lol man I've gone back and forth on gears so many times. There are people out there with 4.10 and twin screw blowers. moddadict just posted in another thread here that he would stay with 'em. Still. His car is an auto so it's kind of apples/oranges.
