I don't know if the Volare rear is too wide, but I know that its wider than an A-body rear. You also might have to move the spring perches to use this rear in your Valiant. Hopefully, someone else will know for sure.

The 75 A-Body rear end will swap in.
If it's an 8 1/4 the drive shaft will have to be shortened.
Also use the parking brake cables off your 64.
