All of those engines have too much power for a 7 1/4. You need at the very least an 8 1/4 axle.
A friend of mine had the later c-clip version in a 93 Dakota 2.5 I4 and broke it. Also had another friend who had an 88 Diplomat with a stock 318 and broke it. Everything about that axle is WEAK

Randys has 4:10 gears for it (lowest available) & good spiders (a weak point) but as said it'd be money wasted. I would locate an A body 8&3/4 which'd be SBP (& $$$) or a truck/E body 8&3/4 which'd be reasonable (& BBP) & have Moser shorten the housing/axles

I used to drag race a 66 dart with mostly stock 360 and 7.25 rears and they usually only lasted a few weeks and yes it was the spiders pretty much every time. I never found a posi in one till I had moved on from that gig.
