A-Body Axle Choice?

[Jim Ozolins <j_ozolins@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have started studying up on rear-end choices for my '64 Valiant.

The 7 1/4 that's in it now is working just fine, and I will leave it alone 
for now, but I want to get a strong idea of what swaps make sense if I get 
more horsepower working up front, AND what choices I have in order to get a 
larger bolt pattern for the wheels I want to install.

Reading Frank Adkins' book, Chrysler Performance Upgrades has given me a 
wide look at possibilities; each with its own drawbacks, like the 8 1/4" 
having C-Clips, and a possibility of breakage, and like the Dana 60 being 
"extremely heavy."

Somebody I read even suggests that a certain Ford rearend (9"?) will bolt 
right in.

Anyway, I just want to know who has done what, with what success. I just 
want something reasonably strong and dependable with the 5x4.5" bolt circle.

thanks!
