looking for New Jersey Mopar shop

located in Central NJ - Hillsborough to be exact. i'm a newbie to the whole muscle car scene and dont have a lot of experience. i would rather help someone, who knows what their doing, on my car with doing these bigger projects. i consider a bigger project anything more than bolt on - ekk, hehe.

for the rear i know i have an 8.25 inch open rear with (i think) 2.45s in right now. was looking to put in a 3.55 geared suregrip - my problem is i have NO idea where to start and what to buy. from doing some research i think im going to need a new carrier? but doing i just buy the gears and the carrier? this is where the newbie part comes in...

other odds and ends include down the line taking out the 318 and putting in a 340/360. but im not familiar with what is needed to match certain engines to certain trannys, etc.

like i said, bolt ons im good, but i guess i'm just looking for a mentor...
