That's going to depend on how much torque you put to the rear and how much
tire contact you have. I will be running a 454 in my 56 Panel w/TH400 and
2.73:1 10-bolt. The BB will be fairly mild, probably 450 ft lbs or so, and
I expect the rearend to hold up. The 10-bolt is beefier than most think and
it can be made stronger than stock.
