Looking to upgrade from my 7 1/4" SBP rear but need some questions answered. How much horsepower would require me to move all the way up to an 8 3/4"? Are there any swap options that would allow me to keep my SBP 13" wheels? (I'm guess not, but maybe there is hope?) |

The only axle that might work with the 13" rims is the 8 3/4 SBP axle from a '66 to '72 A-body. But if you are worried about breaking your current axle then you will also want to upgrade from 13" rims along with the axle. |

I'm less interested in keeping the wheels as I am with keeping the hub caps. Perhaps there are some 14" LBP wheels that will work with my 13" hub caps? How much horsepower can an 8 1/4 handle? I'm guessing more than my needs (I have no foreseeable plans to exceed 350bhp). |

the 8 1/4 rears are plenty strong, as light as your car is I'm not sure you could break it without drag slicks. |
