83 small axle question?
 

how much power can this rearend hold, running an auto trans, turbo v8, between 450-500 wheel.. im guessing it prolly wont hold up

if you keep stock tires on it you will be ok, you put some decent size wheels and tires the rear end wont last long at all..

pick up a mustang 8.8. they are cheap and work well.

might have found a fox body 8.8, can i just cut my mounts off and weld them to the 8.8? and will the 8.8 in stock form hold up to what i plan to do (will be running slicks and 2800 stall)

I can run high 11s on the standard gearbox and rear end. I'm using 205 wide circuit radials to do that.

In theory my car is only about 1 second off its real potential and it is a lot of work and money to put in a TII gearbox and stronger differential.

I will probably do it eventually because I want to learn how to drive / launch like a pro.
