I'd think a 600 horse BBC and a 4-gear would grenade a Chevy dropout rear the first time you got on it.
I don't think so, Kevin

... that's THE WHOLE POINT about the upgrade kit that I created.
I personally, ran that car hard a couple times. My brother went a less than perfect run at 11.20 @ 127 MPH.
He hurt the posi unit on that run. I lent him my spool, he installed an automatic trans, and put nitrous on the car...
it ran 9.90 @ 140 MPH. They wouldn't let him go again.
I got the spool back, and with a 5.13 gear, it's in the car that you see in my avatar.
For 95% of these cars, it's just not necessary to change the rear end.
oh, those inner fenders ?
My friend in Edmonton had them done like that years ago, when he owned the car.
