Would a slant six 7.25 rear end work with a 360 S.B., or would it just tear it up?
The 7.25 is a gernade behind a small block.
A little fun fact... The front differential/axle in the Dodge Dakota and Durango is a 7.25" chrysler axle (the same one in the a-bodies, infact the ring & pinion will swap over between the 2)
They withstand 4 cylinders, 3.9's, 5.2's, 5.9's and even Cummins 4BT Turbo Diesels (which weigh as much as a big block) and will even hold up for plowing snow too.
Yeah and another fun fact......a front differential sees nowhere near the run time OR stress as a rear axle does. Then never have to pull the entire weight of the vehicle. Used in rear drive applications, the 7.25 is garbage. Just like the Dana 30. They work in front axle applications but suck hind tit in the rear.
Nice truck.
