Dana 60 with upgraded slant six

Hey everyone,
I was originally planning on putting an 8 3/4 with my slant but they are just far too expensive and I noticed there are a lot of Dana 60 rear ends out there for cheap. Does anyone know if the Dana would be too much for the slant or if it's something I could deal with for a couple of years because I'm planning on dropping a small block in my 71 duster and building it over time. I would really like to get the rear end swap out of the way first so if anyone has any info or tips on wether or not it would work I would really appreciate it, thanks.
