Easy, yes.
Strong enough :nono:
It is still a 28 spline Ford traction lok, unwelded axle tubes, Sheetmetal rear cover, stock bushings, stock control arms.....
It would b a good place to start but if you are a CPIE or stronger car expect to damage stuff pretty quick if you use slicks or sticky tires.
300rwhp Mustang GT guys have ripped torque boxes out too.
Dozens of broken Trak-Lok stories at that hp or lower, along with twisted axle tubes and bent axles.
