Where to buy a pinion gear?

I need to find a place to buy a pinion gear cheap. I do not care if it is new or used. It is for an 84 rx7 gsl-se so

I visited racingbeat and all they have is a pinion a ring gears, and they are $300.

Does this include the ring and pinion? Do you know of a website and how much the part would be to ship.

Are all the non-lsd cars 3.909 rear-end? Could I just get a 3.909 ring and pinion and use it. I know this would change the final drive ratio.

by all means keep the lsd and 4.10 ratio in that gsl-se.

sounds like now is a good time to upgrade to 4.444 ring and pinion. motor revvs up real good with that ratio.

I am searching for a pinion that is less than 300, way less. I have heard of an rx7 that is sitting in a field near my house. I would like to go by and see if the owner would be willing to give me the car if I would take it off their property.
I will probably end up using the 3.909 rear pinion and gear, from a 12a car, if it will work.

you can try to find the front end from the b-series mazda 4x4's with the 4.44 diffs...I forget the years.
I would try anything before going down to a 3.90
