So I got a Quote for gears.....
So i got a quote for my gears, goin with the 3.73's. Now the guy said for everything it would be $450 out the door. This seems a lil high for me. Would I be better off buying the gears and an install kit through summit and then taking them to a shop to do them, or is this quote good enough? I normally do all the work myself, but rear gears are not something i want to be messing with.

I got a buddy at a local dealership that will do mine for 150 if i buy the gears from him.
Met him at a car show he was in a 32 ford with a crate motor in it.Maybe check around at a few shows or ask friends who are into performance cars and building them up.450 seems high to me as well.

I'd pay that much for a rear end rebuild like Vfast is talking along with the gears. Shop around a bit and call some Speedshops, but otherwise 450 is ok, so long as he's doing more than just putting in the gears.

If you are being offered all thats been mentioned above and not just straight putting gears in then you JUMP ON THAT RIGHT AWAY!Thats a hell of a deal.I meant for only gear install 450 wasa bit steep.But if all the bells and whistles are being thrown in go for it.
Post a pic of the smile that will be plastered across your face after you break them gears in and get on it for the first time.
