How much power could the stock 8" rear end of a 67 handle if I buy one the limited slip 8" 3rd members from WCCC?

I am looking at a crate engine with 330HP and 360 ft-lbs. I already built the trans to handle it.

Thanks,
Robert

Around 400 for one that is set up right. If you stay with moderate tires, and an automatic you should be fine. Put slicks on it, and side step the clutch on a four speed… bad things happen.
