Default need gears installed in VA!

I need to know of a reputable installer to swap out my gears in my 98 vette, thinking of getting a DTE rear end, but I need someone who can put it in for me in the Virginia Beach, VA/ Elizabteh City, NC area. Well I guess I can go as far as richmond or maryland if needed.

Geez it's a shame you don't live a little closer to Florida. I had my DTE 4:10's installed at England Green's shop in Vero Beach and he knows what he is doing and takes good care of your car. May be worth driving down to assure it is done correctly. Takes about 5 hours for him and it would take you about 10 hours from Va Beach to Vero Beach. Not sure if the ride back on Rt 95 would be good for the new differential but you can ask him.

Phil put 3.90's in my car. The car runs great with them. You could also PM edcmat-l1. His shop is in Chesapeake. Can't go wrong with either one.
