"stock muffler location" on an E-body is behind the axle.

Not sure exactly how long they are, but I used to have a pair of 4.5" diameter inlet/outlet, center/center, Flowmaster 2 chamber top 10 series race mufflers mounted in front the axle on my '70 cuda. Those mufflers are real thick, but not much longer than a typical performance muffler.

Thankyou! If I were you, I'd set your 9" rear up w/ the '68-'70 B body dimensions and use the Dr. Diff offset spring hanger kit to use a 15x10 rim. His kit allows you to bolt in a B body rear and fit a 10" wheel pretty easy.
Mine is a stock width E body rear w/ stock front spring location, but I use the .850" offset rear shackles to get some added clearance and to make the springs closer to parallel. They're wider at the rear in the stock configuration. I use 15x8.5" wheels w/ 5" of backspacing and run both 295-65 radials or 29.5x10.5 slicks on it. Just trimmed the inside of the wheelwell lip to clear the tires.
Here's a pic w/ the slicks on it.

John...I thought there were mufflers in front of the axle and resonators next to the tank?
Other way around, the resonators (when installed) are in front.
