I don't know enough specs to be of much help, but I can say that an offset pinion will cause issues with many aftermarket exhaust systems,,, the exhaust on my son's 66 is pretty damn close to the driveshaft.

This issue could be overcome easily enough, but you should be aware of this possible complication....

Which brings to mind that an offset pinion will not fit into the driveshaft tunnel at the rear anyway, not so easy to overcome...
