strongest swing axle from memory - late model 1300 box, however is 4 stud stock. maybe look into getting rear disk kit in wide 5 to go with the box.

people will recommend irs/single side plate etc as you would expect. but i think swinger is cool.

goodluck mate

get the late 1300 box, put the 6v axles and wide 5 drums (off the 63) on to that box.
depends how you drive it as to how long it will hold together!!
are you running discs on the front?

if you can't drive like a maniac, why have a big engine?! 1500 box will probably survive. 1300 gearing sucks.

run a 1500 beetle, twin circuit master.
burnouts and launching will kill any stock box, driving fast wont...
