Hi Neil,
Hate to burst your bubble but the A-body series never came with a 8 3/4 rear when they had a small block. A 318 would be a low-line V8 for that car, so they would all be 8 1/4 rears. Not nearly as strong, nor are there many parts available.
If you already have an 8 3/4 there are MANY sources for that ratio rear- Mosler is the first that comes to mind, or Mancini Racing. As for strength, I always go for a 489, tapered shaft case, they are stronger than the 741 or 742. But it depends on what you want to do with it.
Have Fun,
Charles.
