Default anyone running a 7.5?

hello everyone...i know i know dont use the 7.5...but i was wondering if anyone still has one in theirs from the 4 cylinder conversion? i have almost everything for the swap except for the rear and i was wondering how long it would stand up 2 the 5.0. Will i be ably to daily drive it without busting it? lke not getting on it hard until i get the 8.8? thanks

if it is in good condition and you dont beat it you will be fine. look into a new or used 8.8 as soon as you can tho

If it's the complete rearend, it's 5-lug and has disc brakes. If you arent going to change the front to 5 lug, then there's not much difference other than 3.55 gears.. I think. The 7.5 will hold up fine, unless the car hooks hard.
