7.25s are NOT C clip rears...and welding one up will increase its strength tremendously.
Moderate weight car...less than 3500 wet, less than 300 horsepower and auto trans, it should last a good, long time.
I agree with the first, but not necessarily the last. I know a couple guys who broke them with 318s. Just depends on "how big" your foot is LOL
Since this is winter, when I was really young, long about the winter of 67-68---I drove a 57 Chev clear through winter with "weld-a-lock." "It was interesting."
Just the other day I had fun kicking the (limited slip) Dakota around a corner in 2 WD. The local PD would have not been impressed LOL
