8.75 Strength?

I am saving up for an engine that'll make about 1000 hp and want to know if an 8 3/4 Chrysler rear can handle it or a relatively inexpensive combo that will be able to handle 1000-1500 hp. I have a Dana 60 that I can shorten if needed also.
Thanks, Forrest

Just a once a month driver probably. Maybe take it to the strip some. Also wondering what kind of transmission to use. I'm still gathering engine parts so the transmission and rear will have to wait a while. I want to see what I can swing for an engine before I get into the drivetrain more than on paper.

Ok...I'm a little confused about the above statements. Why would you ever need 1000 Hp for a once a month driver that may, or may not, ever see the strip? In my opinion, you're throwing your money away on something that you will hardly drive and enjoy. You'd be better off with half the Hp and something you can drive the doors off of.
Again...just my opinion.
