Is there any difference between Chassis Works and the DSE tubs for the Gen II Camaro application?

I was recently told I would need to modify the frame rails to fit my 335's. I have been searching and havent found a detailed thread on a Gen II install. I have followed several threads with mini tubs and never saw anything about a frame rail mod, is it needed? Kind of on a time crunch, I appreciate any help. Thanks Kevin

here is a link to first gen mini-tub, not sure about second gen but this was the most complete thread I have ever come across.

here is another that is for a 70-81 camaro from carcraft..It does look like cutting will be required..

The car craft link is has some pretty good pictures.
for the tubs themselves I don't think you have to cut the frame, the frame only needs to be cut along the bottom for the leaf spring to be moved inward.

After looking at it again I believe you are right, be nice if first Gens were the same..
