Im not sure what it would work out to be $$$ wise in the US but im building an 091 based box, for a few reasons,
i dont have to cut the torsion housing, this was a BIG thing for myself, it was where i drew the line for mods
bolts in fairly factory like, using the intermediate housing from LanD in canada
the bellhousing kit from RJES in the uk makes it look & work like is supposed to be there
There IS good diff's available for the 091 these days, Peloquin is the way im going
really the only drawback is the limit of 4 gears, but with decent ratio choice its not a terrible thing
Theres not much point putting figures up since the exchange rate changes alot but look into those people ive mentioned
also using albins gears(the aussie equivalent of weddle etc i believe)
Mind you then you have to factor in output shafts, axles, cv's....
