I think you can get away without swapping the spring mounts.

If I plan on sticking to the 8.25 that is currently installed, how much HP/Torque should it be able to withstand? This will help me decide my options for the motor.

Thanks all

8 1/4s are pretty good. Unless you go drag racing with a manual trans and slicks I think you're unlikely to find the limits with a slant.

One other thing I like about the 8 3/4, that is their taper-roller type axle bearings with end play adjustment... not a ball bearing.
(I will never unstand why people would want to use those "Green" bearings on an 8 3/4) :?
Uh Huh... let me use the search function... was it 25000 miles on Green bearings on your Cuda, mostly being towed ;) I remember!

I installed an 8 3/4 on my 74 Duster - here's the thread

Don't recommend cannabalizing an E body these days though...
