good rearend?

I have a 54 dodge truck....
Need a new rear end
Mine is the small truck rearend and its got 4.88 gears so i cant go over like 50mph.
I found a dodge truck like 78 rearend chrysler 9.25 thats in great shape with 3.21 and 11inch brakes and everything for $45
The measerments work perfect and everything for the swap but just getting opinions on the rearend.. strenght and everything.
Need to change rear ends bad because of the gears and you cant buy brakes for these original rear ends.
It needs to hold up against quit a bit... im eather going early hemi or built small or big block maby turbo'd or something dont know yet.
But mite get a 4 speed for rompin around town.
Thanks guys
