30 spline. Yes, you can use stock axles, but they may break soon.

If you're buying a spool. Get a 35 spline and axles to match. Moser doesn't even sell a 30 spline spool for 8 3/4 for fear of someone using stock axles in it.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Can you use a full spool with stock axels? What spline are a body 8.75 axels
Can you? Yes. Good idea? Makes as much sense as holding a lit fire cracker. Listen to experiece and buy spool and axles together.

There's always someone who's done it but it's a real bad idea and a good way to wad up a nice old Mopar.

All Mopar 8 3/4 axles use the same spline, 30. I used a stock set of axles with a 30 spline spool in my stocker for several years, it finally broke the left axle off in the spool Luckily it happened on the burn out so I didn't lose control of the car like might have happened on the launch or down track I have also broke a stock axle that was already twisted in the splines, it broke the convex beveled posi plates in the rear end, which eventually cause me to switch to a Dana 70 rear end in that car Best bet is to save your money and buy the 35 spline axles and spool, don't forget about the need for the a steel cap on the drivers side on most high powered good hooking Mopars also and the back brace, the list goes on Best bet is to save your money and buy a custom made Dana 60 for your car
