65 mustang rear ends

Have a question for all the guys with a 65 are 66. I have a 8" rearend in my mustang that I blew out with 3.00 gears. I have a 306 low comp. with victor jr heads, victor jr intake, holley 650 dbl pumper, and a f-303 cam with a t-5 trans. What rearend do y'all recommend for me and gears. All I would need to fix what I got is another 8" third member and a driveshaft that would be the cheapest way I think what do y'all think and can y'all help me finding something to fix it. Thanks

I have a 65 fastback
320 h.p. 319 tq. @ the wheels
I have a T-5 with a 9" with 31 spline axles and 3.89 gears with a trac lock
I love this set up.
Car is set up for the turns, but still runs 12.7 in the 1/4 mi.
And can get 19MPG on the freeway @70mph.
Just my 2 cents!

What are you HP numbers?
Or have you ever ran it down the track?
I can use 1/4 mi. Times and MPH to figure out HP.

I built a custom 2-link setup that stopped all the wheel hop!
Old school Shelby track bars work pretty good!
Or even old school Lakewood traction bars work pretty good!
