How much power can a 7.5 rear handle?
What will a stock rear handle to the wheels and what would a built one handle?

Search the archive. Everyone seems to ask the same questions.
A stock diff will survive better behind an automatic than a standard transmission. Stock diffs have broken behind stock engines.
Follow the article on building up an Ultimate 10-bolt and the diff can survive a lot more.
My 10 bolt is built up and is still surviving in my race car.
