To guys who have performed engine swaps, what kind of power / torque will a standard rear axle take? Not going drag racing or anything! Just road use I’m thinking about 240 bhp/ 200 lb/ft range Thanks in advance

I don't think you are going to get an answer this way. I think instead you should look for some sort of engineering standard for ring gears. I.e. how do you determine how large to make a ring gear for 200lb-ft of torque. There must be some sort of standards out there for that sort of thing. Something like this might give you the information you need: Helical gear design tutorial. Vance

Thanks for that, but I was hoping for someone with a more torquey engine to chime in
