I was just wondering as to how much power the stock rear end in a 1966 Mustang Fastback would hold up to? If you need any other info I'll get it up as soon as possible.
Thanks for your replies.

the stock six cylinder rear wont take too much more power than stock, and the stock V8 rear will handle around 350-375 hp, less with slicks.

Thanks man
Do you know how much torque. I'm sitting with about 300 hp right now and want to get up to right about the 350 range so I'd hve near 300 at the wheels, but didn't want to have to get into the expensive stuff with the rear and all, and I have no intention of running slicks.

Thanks for your response.
