John, I wish you wern't on the other side of the country, I'd swap you a newer posi for your 1967 and find something to trade for the 4 speed you'd mentioned in a different post! I believe that rear end would fit fine and unless you wanted to put some large tires underneath I don't think the offset would be a problem. The wheelwell on my 1971 Cutlass Supreme is about 14 inches wide! I've tucked 295's in there but when the body rolled the inside of the tires rubbed. That's about a 12" footprint, so if you were to use something more like a 245 I think you'd have room to spare with the narrower rear end. John
