I doubt a new car dealer would want the job in the first place, and I am certain that they wouldn't install a ring & pinion that you provided to them.

A new car dealer service dept isn't going to do an over the counter gear swap. They wouldn't even know what an 8 3/4 center section is. Try do find a dealer mech that can gap a set of point lately.? Use to work at a dodge dealer back in 2001, I had an 87 dakota - leaving work one day it wouldn't start. I went into the shop and nobody knew "how to work on anything that old" except ONE guy, and he figured out the issue in 2 minutes. He's probably retired now.

I guess you've never been to the Toyota dealership where I work. All the writers know that I will work ANY transmission or rear axle. I set up Mopar, Toyota, Dana, and 9" Ford rears all at the dealership. Oh and I can set points and adjust a carburetor too Gus

A dealer isn't even on my radar for that kind of work. Best bet is to find some small local shop that's been around a while and ask them. They would know where to go for that kind of work or could even do it themselves.
As far as only doing parts swaps, there are a number of dealers around here with mechanics who have the training to tear into engines or rebuild transmissions for newer vehicles.
