Tim,

What are you looking for in an "install kit"? Is this a set of bearings
and seals, or the parts required to go with BIG gears in an 8.25?

Either way, Randy's Ping and Pinion (back of any car/truck mag) or any good
sized rear axle shop should have them (yellow pages - rear ends, bearings,
spring shops)

When I blew my 9 1/4 3.92s 7 weeks ago, I found a local guy who had ALL the
good parts in stock, and was actually cheaper than Randy's (tax made it
even). Bearings/seals/4.10s/auburn ~ $700, install ~180. Now I have an
effective 4.42 at the track (4.10s with 26" slicks). It's getting me
through the traps at about 5500 rpm now ;-)
