4cyl came with the 7.5" rear... It can Probably withstand the stock to slightly modified v8 power....
it would probably be easier to drop the wholeengine, trans, and suspension system out of hte v8 and 4cyl, and then just drop the body on top of the setup....

depends on how much abuse you put the 7.5 through. I had a buddy, that is dead now, who ran a 300 shot for a season and never had trouble out of the 7.5. When he put the roots blower on it, it finally needed replacing.
and no, the guy didn't know he was running a 300 shot. The guy that put the kit in for him thought it was a 125 shot. Then after a season the motor came apart and they found out why.lol

the guy that put the kit on read the read the chart wrong for the nitrous jet. I believe he was looking at a chart for a chevy motor or something. When they pulled the jet, he found out it was in fact a 300 shot.
Safe to say, my friend had better guidance from then on out and did things himself.
