As long as you street race and never put a tire on the car it will be fine.
Example Wanger's 4.33 4 pinion 10 bolt rear axle he ran in the 64 GTO red car and
Bill Sherman ran for a short while.

I swapped some parts for the Wangers Rear Axle and ran it on the street all thru college.
Then I moved to the East side of Detroit (Grosse Pointe Mi area) and the car sat for several years.
Eventually I put a Moser 9" rear axle under the car and stored the Wanger's rear until Tenny bought
the rear and put it back under the Red Car.

Never hurt it on the street with a regular tire on the car.

Put slicks on the car and I do not think it would survive.
I had a 12 bolt under the car for a short period of time which I blew up so I went
to the Moser 9" Ford Rear. I destroyed several regular 10 bolts, the single 12 bolt
before the 9". SO IT DEPENDS OF IF YOU ARE GOING TRACK RACING AND, PUTTING
A GOOD TIRE ON THE CAR.
