A member on here got his diff and final drive installed at http://www.northwestdifferential.com/ . He told me everything went smooth and the price wasn't too bad. Its in Kirkland though. I have a Quaife and final gears I need to get installed to so I'm thinkin about this place.

I think Ray works at a place called garage auto hero (or something similar). I have heard nothing but positive things about his work.

It's actually not as difficult as one would think. You just need to be methodical and keep your work area clean during your build. (https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...tallation.html) The dial indicator can be picked up from Harbor Freight for pretty cheap. If you don't have to press bearings out, it's fairly simple.
