Its not hard work, but without the right tools it can be a costly learning experience if you get the set up wrong...

Karl is spot on. Everyone says build it, they are cheap. Survey says BS. Unless you really want to learn to do it yourself, setting up a GM ring and pinion is no picnic. It requires specific tools that are not commonly available, and it can be a lesson in frustration.
I have found the most economical option is to find a replacement axle. They can be bought very reasonable and are not hard to find. Locating one with 3.73 gears is a bit harder than the more common 3.08 or 3.42 but they are out there.
