8 3/4 tough enough?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Have been looking at the whole dana 60 vs 8 3/4" scenario and don't want to spend the money on a nice 8 3/4 only to break it and then have to build a dana 60.

Hoping to have 600hp at the flywheel when the w5 combo is complete, current combo only has around 460hp but is limited by a small cam and unported w2's but has run an 11.7 as is.
Won't be running a transbrake at this stage.

Does a dana 60 fit into an a body with the fuel tank etc in standard location and are the dana 60 out of some of the f truck fords a similar diff as some of them out here have dana 60s I believe.
