Put it towards a built 12 bolt or 9".
When you order you will have your choice of gears

Including new parts, all of 'em, not bad.

I think I paid $400 for installing 3.42s (used), T2-R and a
full replacement of all moving parts (master rebuild kit, hard
pinion spacer, etc.) exclusive of all the parts cost. At a
dealership's speed shop. Couple of years ago now.
