Thats a good deal. Your going to need to move the axle as far as you safely can to the drive side, and add some sort of spacer on that side to get the 6 speed to clear. I have it posted here somewhere from when I did my buddies bike.

Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Time for this bike to get a full remake. For 3 reasons.
1: it's too heavy
2: it doesnt handle as good as my other bikes
3: it's too tall to fit in my panel truck.
Plans include taking about an inch and a half our of the forks. This won't effect travel. Also slacking the head angle, lowering the bottom bracket, completely redoing the rear suspension, and trying to loose some weight.
Current specs are:
54.7 lbs
Wheelbase 45 3/8
Standover 31 by the seat 39 by the head tube
Bottom bracket Spindle 15-3/8.
Bars 46-1/4 center.
Head tube 70 degrees
Seat tube 71 degrees.
