Rich,

2. Any 8 3/4 center section wil bolt into your rear end but you'd better 
read this article first. Here's the link and a quote:

http://www.autohobbydigest.com/8_75.html

A 1964 and later differential, or any Sure Grip differential, cannot be 
used with 1959-1963 rearends and axles originally equipped with an open 
differential. The original axles must be machined or original Sure Grip 
length axles must be used. 

Better to bolt in a 65 to 70 B body rear and get rid of the tappered 
axles at the same time. That's what I plan to do on my 63 Fury. You'll 
probably want to stick with a 742 or 489 center section behind that 400 
hp and nitrous.

4. Take a look at this slick bolt on drive shaft loop that a friend of 
mine from my old Charger group invented for Mopars. Here's his web site:

5. If you want one of the Lakewood fits all drive shaft loops I have a 
brand new one still in the box on my shelf that you can have cheap.
