$100 fix. Buy a used posi and put in it. In my experience, gear pattern doesn't change when you swap posi's.

Classifieds. $1800 seems like the norm for used rear ends, depending on internal options (posi, spool, axle spline etc.).

10 bolt behind an auto:

And behind an M6:

One question I do have is I was looking at the summit brand with the cap studs and the "fancy" cooling fins. Is it worth it? Some say dont bother with the 10 bolt and others say to keep the bearings straight and thats what the cap stud things do. May go to the track twice a year. Just dont want my rear end to go.

The Strange 12 bolt works with the stock length driveshaft, but then the DS will be the weak link. A broken driveshaft is quite a destructive force. Save up for a better one down the line.
