Chris,
I'm runnin a 12bolt from a late 60's Chevelle. The Chevelle rear end is wider than stock g-body so the wheel offset will be different. I've got 9" rims with 5-7/8" bs, I had 8" draglites on it and ran 5-1/2"bs with them. Stock g-body bs is 3-1/2" to 4". Another thing is using that rear the upper control control arm mounts are narrower(I think), you can run stock arms but it's a pita to line them up and ya really tweek the bushings. If you use an arm with solid heim joints on each end there is no problem at all, or there's a guy that goes by pitqueen on ebay that sells them specifically for that use. He's a good guy and makes all kinds of suspension parts for g-bodies pretty cheap.
For you on a budget I'd just swap in a GN rear that's got some work done to it. You can find some deals for the rear from drum to drum for about $800.
Everyone else, thanks for the comments and more pics and video soon to come :smt023
