Looking for some good advice on where to get info on replacing the stock rearend and suspension in my 66 Vette and converting it to a 12 bolt solid rear end. I understand the width, from backing plate to backing plate, has to measure the same as stock, but need help in what all is involved in the conversion.
What does NHRA allow for the location/attachment of the rearend and will I need to do any cutting of the frame, such as for drive shaft clearance or anything else I haven't forseen yet.
My plan is to race the car in AA/S, given it is an original big block car.
Any other help is appreciated.

Thanks.
