How wide is a stock Malibu rear housing flange to flange ? I'm looking at a Chevelle 12 Bolt that has been narrowed a little. What do you Guys do when you mini tub a Monte or Malibu. How much shorter do you go on the housing. This will be a max frame notch with new wheel housings. What will the rear wheel back space be. Any pictures and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking, Great site by the way.

Thanks for the info.

Any body have the inside scoop (pictures) on mini tubing, axle width, choice for adjustable upper & lowers arms, coil over shocks, anti - roll, etc.
