explorer 8.8 in an a-body: experience needed

What center section does your 8-3/4 have in it? You know there are 3 different cases and if your running a 741 (weakest case) behind something with a lot of power and good traction it might not hold up good. But neither would a Ford 8.8"....

I know someone with a 741 case with 4.88 gears and a 4 spd. behind a healthy 340 that has lasted for yrs. so apparently Mopar 8-3/4's aren't junk.
