PLEASE HELP...

[daredevil]

I recently picked up a Ford 8.8 rear axle and a matching set of 4.88 gears for the Ford and the D30. I have already finished the welding of the spring perches and shock mounts. I have the install kits (shims, bolts, and bearings) for both axles. I'm trying to do this on an extremely limited budget. I'm legally blind and am on a very limited budget. I swindled my way into an awesome deal on the axles and gear sets. I stole them for a meager $300 for the entire package deal. I got the welding done for free. Now I need to find someone that can help me install the gear sets in both the D30 and the Ford 8.8. I'm very mechanically inclined, but don't posess the knowledge to intall these items with confidence. I don't want to "just slap them in" as we all know a complete set of gears and the axles for $300 is a once in a lifetime deal. So what I am after is a couple guys that are close in to the Beaverton/Hillsboro/Portland/Vancouver areas to help me install these gears. In the end I want to do a tech article on the installation and buildup of the pair of axles.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time guys.
