Question Wanna change from 3:55 NON LS to 4:10 LS or Posi

Anyone know about how much we r talkin about here in dollars for parts & labor, just ball part figure, all i've been given is gear change prices but i need ls or posi too, i've heard somewhere about 4:10 lockers that have electronic switch to lock it up??
Any help would be appreciated cause with the mods i have now all i gotta do is look @ it wrong & the back tire breaks loose.

If you've already got labor prices for a gearchange, all you need to do is add the cost of the Trac-Lok ("posi" is GMspeak, please don't use that kind of language on this board.) Labor is the same, actually a bit less, if you change the carrier as well as the R&P. A new Ford Motorsport 31-spline Trac-Lok is about $250 from Summit, the Auburn is about $300-375 depending on model.
Lockers can be a bit twitchy on the street, best to stay with the LS.
