Default Ordered my 3.7:1 's today!

Time to offload my 3.08s and put in some real diff gears. Price wasnt to bad either. 1100 Aus for my crownwheel and pinion. $455 for a dif rebuild kit. I cant believe im so excited about 2 pieces of metal. Next step will be to work out what i do with the motor. After looking at all my options i may just whack a 125Hp shot of NOS on it. Either way the 3.7 s will at least get me moving and open up my choice of engine.

What is the exchange rate Aus-$ to USA-$ ? The price sounds high but it is probably about the same as what I paid!?!
I paid $145 for my 3.73 ring and pinion gears (Tom's Differentials) and $89 for my differential rebuild kit (Bairs).
I haven't had my car on the road since the gear swap but hopefully it won't be much longer. I'm anxious to feel the difference between the original 3.07:1 to the 3.73:1 ratio.

exchange rate is around 50c. Plus I image shipping costs from US to here wouldnt be cheap either.
