If you have two hands and some tools you can knock this out yourself. Save the money, invite some local DFW guys over to help, pay them with beer and pizza..

I would be able to give you a hand if you were closer, however I am 3 hours south of you in the Austin area. Do you have a local DFW F-body forum, if so you might try there.

Here is a good write-up on the install.

If you are going to end up buying a shitload of tools, it might just be better to hit up a local DFW shop versus spend the price of installation on tools.
