I have a 73 Dart Swinger that was a old family car I am fixing up.
Had a slant six and a 7.25 rear in it.
Im going to put a 360 in it and fear my 7.25 is bound to fail but I cant find a close 8.25 or 8.75 for an A body and dont want to have one shipped.
Ive looked all over within reasonable distances in NC where I am and called every junk yard i can find and have found nothing.
Im almost desparate enough to do the ford 8.8 or similar swap but really Id lime to know if anyone knows if it is possible to build the 7.25 strong enough to handle the new engine?
When done ill probably only be around 300hp but my wife already hates my car and if I break the rear and have to get a tow im a dead man.
Anyone have any ideas?
Im clearly on a budget or i would just buy a moser rear lol.
Thanks in advance!
