I have a 'couple'
I picked up a whole diff from a wrecker with 3.45 gears for around $100-150 from memory. While used (obviously) they were in very good condition and not whiny at all. Every six cylinder VL has 3.45 gears so they are extremely common, whereas V8's had 3.08 Ratio, the same as all VR's (and some VP's?? I'm not 100% on that one as I've never owned one)

As for fitting, you are probably looking at around $200-$250 upwards depending on who you speak to.
