I went back out to the garage and took some more measurements. The tunnel is wide near the gearbox, but after the support it drops down to 5" wide. I don't think that the OD is a viable option anymore; it is going to be too difficult to make it work right.
However, I think that I am going to swap out the rear end for something with 4.10 gears. If the B20 makes greater than 150bhp then this should be more than acceptable. I would take a Spicer 30 w/ LSD, but I will have to see.
