I have one in my 71 with a Detroit TruTrac.
IIRC you may need to mod the prop shaft.

I have a 12/10 bolt 8.5" Olds rear in my car. Has taken a tremendous beating. Countless 4-speed miles. Over 400 passes on slicks, etc. Still going! I did put fresh clutch plates and heavier springs in it years ago.
