I assume Philip is asking about it for his slant six/ automatic combo.

Not knowing a thing about Mopar rears, I'm still going to offer my opinion:
Do it.

There was a bracket racer that raced at State Capital Dragway in Baton Rouge who used an 8 1/4" in his Dart Sport. He ran high 10's with a 360 with it. I say if you can find the ratio you need, run it. It can't be any weaker than say an old 8.2" GM...

Loge's use to run one in their Volare stocker.
