iirc, the width is correct, but it's going to be a matter of finding a welder who can effectively weld onto the cast housing. the other option, though ugly is to weld a brace around the pumpkin and to the axle tubes.

here's an example of how one guy made it work for him. he used a different rear end, but the same concept.
you might be better off forking out the cash for a g-body 8.5.
