Sounds like you got a great deal. I prefer 4.10's over 3.73's with a t56, but they are close enough that I wouldn't disturb a properly set-up rearend for the difference in ratio...even if I already had the parts.
I doubt you could have built an 8.8 to save much $$ vs. the deal you found.

^ yea it was too good to pass on it, even if it doesnt have 4.10's. I looked into a 8.8 but it wasnt any cheaper with all the fab work plus parts, also this is my DD so i cant have a ton of down time.

As stated above, if the 3.73s are set up properly I'd just leave them alone for now. That's a killer deal for $1500. Does it have a trutrack in it or Detroit locker or spool?
