3.91 gears help

[Mr2Hard2See]

Well I just missed a good deal on this kit but I’m sharing this info for anyone else who wants to buy this 3.91 gear set on discount $400 + shipping. I posted that I got my gears & a buddy said he had it brand new for sale...he’s boosted now. Here’s pics

That is a good deal but who makes the gears? I went with the GM gears specifically because of the almost guaranteed ease of installing and reliability.

The guy I know only uses GM parts for his build now he’s looking for a zl1 diff

Sorry if i’m out of place with this question, but is there a place on this forum that has a complete parts list necessary to have the 3.91 gears installed? Maybe even with links?

Also, anything else you need to upgrade? Staying NA around 400+.

Thanks!

Got my installed with parts for just over 1K. Best bang for dollar mod I did so far besides drag radials.

Well in the Bay Area where we have the most expensive housing cost and gas in the entire country. I was quoted from a aamco trans shop of $700. It’s a solid local business simple as that. From talking with some real cars guys with serious money behind the builds, I was told of a rear end shop. They too also said $700 and they can receive my car on Monday and pick up Tuesday. I believe this is my plan of action that I’ve figured out today. Overall that’s brings the job totally to 1k. Gotta pay to play boys.

That's still a really good deal at $1K. I've read a lot of folks are paying $1800-$2000 to get this done. I just got my quote from my speed shop to get the swap done TOMORROW and my total is $1.4K.. I am choosing to pay to play as well. They said I could bring my own parts in but cautioned against getting the kit from ClassicMuscle.com that I found for $440 since they don't list the GM part number.

So I am paying the $510 for the kit plus about $80 for new pinion bearings plus 3 qts of amsoil diff fluid and $750 for labor.

I know because all the other stuff I do my own wrenching at home. My mentality is I’m taking the car to the next level and that means outside help and paying for it. Otherwise I’ll go nuts thinking that labor money is parts money and this labor bill is nearly a FAST INTAKE or more Carbonfiber since I’m a sucker for it lol. I’ve always had nice cars and with the SS CAMARO this car is a machine that should be built on a higher standard.

At least you're still into it less than the average too

That’s awesome that you got your car booked for the swap already. When dealing with shops it definitely helps your warranty or future issues if you bought your parts direct and they do the labor as well. Great protection because you can say you sold me the parts and installed....so who’s fault is it. Anyhow, I noticed you’re a Texas guy. I’ve never been but a top speed shop from the bay relocated to Hudson TX because it’s just to political in Cali. If you are near I can dm you that info for the future mods you may have planned.
