nope

i've had a LOT of chevelles all the rear end housings are the same from big blocks to 6 cyl as far as offset
64-67 were one width and 68-72 are 1 1/2" wider... but they all had a centered pinion

Tom, the pinion in a 12 bolt is offset to the right approx. 1 inch..That's how the axles end up the same length.

but they're the same offset between 6's and v-8's
you're right about the pinion not being centered (i'm too used to ferd 9"'s)
