It'll bolt in.. dont know which one you have but if you get the last 3 numbers off it we would know more.. but the alum center is based on the straight 1 3/4 pinion which is the old one

I'll try to get some numbers off it tomorrow. So if I have a set of later axles, if they are the same length, I can slide them in this housing?
Depends if you have stock splines and if the center is

I thought you had to change the ends of the axle tubes when changing from a tapered/keyed axle to the 65 and later flanged style?

Yes you do, that is why I put the Dana in my 64 Polara.

Anyone that raced the old stuff with the tappered axles got rid of them... when I raced my 62 out on Woodward YEARS ago I had a pile of keys in the glove box.. if it hooked good they sheared off... I finally put a newer B-body 8 3/4 in it

Heavy cars and/or overpowered cars with sticky tires need the beef of the best 8%3/4 parts or the Dana 60. In my case the easiest and cheapest solution was to narrow a Dana 60, buy new 30 spline axles, use Mopar ends and 10" brakes. If you build a lighter car and don't abuse it a 8&3/4 will last just fine.

Somebody installing a 8.75 pre 65 tapered housing into a 74 for racing is rather strange IMO in the first place, any other surprises?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Not so far other then it being stripped out to start building a drag car. Luckly he kept and labeled all the interior pieces. This is a numbers car minus the rearend, but whats weird is it has a flat mount k member in it
