Looking for 3.42 disc rear end

Hey guys, I'm looking for a posi 3.42 (or possibly something close) disc rear end for my 91 Trans Am. Somewhere around the central Connecticut area would be nice. I'm on a tight budget just letting you know. I'm not expecting a perfectly clean unit, but something that works. Thanks!

EDIT: I'm willing to travel a bit further if the price is right.

I have a 4th gen 3:23 posi rear complete with disc brakes, wider than a 3rd gen rear but works great with 4th gen or vette wheels. $250 complete NY zip 12538 not far from CT.

Thanks but I was really hoping for a 3.42. I don't want a 4th gen rear end because I want to keep my stock rims and I don't think that they'll look good when sticking out further. But thanks for responding!

Re: Looking for 3.42 disc rear end

Can I offer you 200 for it

Edit: And I'm looking for a front and rear disc proportioning valve to go with the drum-to-disc conversion...

its a limited slip>>>> all ver 9, 10, 12 bolt [except open diffs]
everybody calls them POSI [ but the fact is they are limited slip ]
witch means it burns posi till you lets say have 1 side on the grass and 1 side on pavement
the Diff I have is what you are looking for except I do not have 3:45
it's NOT A OPEN diff 1 wheel burn
going once going twice
