Well, since I didn't get any replies I went ahead and took some final measurements and sealed it all up. The backlash was around .60 and the carrier slide in pretty easily so everything should spin good and fast, the marking compound was slightly off but I think it'll work. Just kidding, I got the backlash to .008 and the carrier went it pretty snug. Other than figuring out how to use the proform pinion depth gauge and looking up specs the whole deal was definitely worth learning how to do and not having someone else do for a couple hundred $$$.
