If it is a Dana 44, they probably won't be 'cheap'. Make sure you specify '92 Corvette Dana rearend. Try Randy's Ring and Pinion (I recommend 4.10s with an installation kit).

I haven't seen a 3.93 gear for a D36, 3.73's are the highest.

I shopped around online for my gears, and then found a reputable street rod shop that did it for a good price. I sugest finding what brand gears you want, and then look online. I went with Precision, and I'm very happy with the result.

I agree...I have never seen 3:93's for a Dana 36...if you did find them and run any kind of sticky tire out back, beware...the 36 won't live too long... ..I turned my spider gears into chicklets with one good hook on Sumitomo street tires with 3:73's...
