The Ford LS unit is under $300 and the Auburn is under $400. Installing this requires experience and special tools to have a quiet, long lasting setup. Basic handtools, access to a bearing separator and a press to install the pinion bearing, a method to measure pinion depth, a dial indicator and magnetic stand to measure backlash, a front seal driver, a way to measure pinion bearing preload, etc. If you don't have this experience or access to these tools, the $300 or so labor is a bargain.

I probably will start calling around and have a local performance shop do the install then!
