Rear end Info?

Where can I find dimensions on factory 12bolt rear ends? I want to find one that is the right width and fabricate third gen mounts on it. Any info is appreciated.

First gen f-bodys are about the right size. Swapping over the mounts from a 10 bolt to any other diff isn't hard but you need some way to attach the torque arm. The aftermarket 12 bolt housings have the torque arm mount cast into the housing.
