I'm not spending the money just to narrow it. I'm going with a kore3 c6 zo6 rear brake kit and he designed the kit around the torino ends. I'm rebuilding the 12bolt with a true trac posi 3.73 gears and axles with pressed on bearings. I'm pretty sure it would cost more then $1600 to build a 9". Plus I already have the 12 bolt from the truck.
