1970 225 dart rear end vrs 1971 318 rear

[Outkast]

I have a 1970 dart custom w/225 and a 71 dart swinger with a 318, would there be any difference in the rear ends? or are they the same and where do I check them for numbers to find out?

Generally the slant rearend will have steeper gears than a V8. Outside of that, about the same.

Thanks guys, now my question is when I get this 225 putting out the power I'm hoping to get would be a good upgrade to use the rear end from the V8 model? If they are different that is. I'll check that spotters guide here in a few and see if they are the same.

any A body 8 1/4 (Big Bolt Pattern) or A body 8 3/4 (small bolt pattern)

im still using my 7 1/4 with my V8 and its working just fine.
