I would say a little more than that.

I just bought one for $1000 with 3.33s complete. However, I tried about 10 places and the average price was around $2000 for a complete set with 3.45s. One place even quoted me $4000!

I just bought a 3.07 D44 and batwing from Contemporary Corvette for $850 (for my tube frame C3 project), and they also had the 3.45s available for $1400 with the driveshaft and C channel.

Well I guess it depends I would sell it for 2,000 for the rear and the batwing

Seen em sell like that many times.

you got one in mind?
I have a line on one but I dont need the rear or batwing I need the rest of it :D
If I get it would you be interested in the rear with batwing?

spin the out put shaft three complete rotations and count how many times your input (driveshaft) spins lets say 12.3 turns

so 12.3/3 = 4.10's

thats the way I was told and it gives you a pretty close idea other way would be to remove the batwing and count the theeth on the gears.
