    lsd and final drive install

    Okay so i finally finished building my motor and since i took so freggin long i ended up just buying random parts for the trans. I picked up the j's racing 5.1 final drive and the cusco 1.5 lsd. This is the first import motor i have built and it wasnt easy. I have never gone beyond the bell housing for the transmission and am wondering if its a good idea or not to attempt this install. How hard is it? and about how much am i looking at spending if pro's do it?

    Thanks in advance

    Arm and a leg if you have a shop do it. Find yourself the helms and there are plenty of DIYs that can help you. If you have all the tools I say go for it.

    wait just caught something.... you didnt change the final drive. IM guessing that since ill be changing the final drive i might have to tap into that huge stack of gears. Is this correct?
