Not without a high stall converter. Just remember, what hurts a 7 1/4 rear is "shock loading". Like when a wheel is spinning, and then grabs traction. I ran 7 1/4 rears for years, without problems (even with slicks and/or nitrous), but that was also when you could get repair parts for them. |

You might want to check and see what year it is. If I'm not mistaken, the later 7 1/4 shur grips were the "cone" style and only had 2 spider gears. The clutch type had 4 spider gears. I would never consider a 7 1/4 with only 2 spiders. Regardless, parts for any 7 1/4 rear are hard to find, and SG parts even more so. If you're going to beat on the rear forget a 7 1/4.

Small bolt pattern? The 7 1/4 in my 76 Dart was Big Bolt with 10 inch drums. |

This is the case on the disc brake cars. Front drum cars were small bolt pattern.
The 7 1/4 in my 76 Dart was Big Bolt with 10 inch drums. |

I was told after Jan 1 1976 all A Bodies got BBP and Front Disks. A1 on the fender tag. |
