Ron,

Where are you located? I've already invested in a 8" rebuild kit $126. So
all I would need would be the posi unit and a ring and pinion with a ratio
of 1:3.55. Unless the whole pumpkin would be cheaper. Let me know I'm
curious.

I'm not sure how old this catalog I have is, but currie lists new
8" ring&pinion (3.00/3.55/3.80/4.11/4.63/5.43) @ $189. 8"
open diff($80), detriot($450), 4 spider TSD($390), 2 spider TSD($340),
auburn($380). complete 8" third members range from $440(open) upto
$870(detroit) with the other diff choices falling in between.
