Most hotrodders use 35 or 36 along with the trailing arms for the small tapered axle housings . Keep this in mind you will need to change the rear crossmember to a model A and model A or T rear spring depending on the look your going for

You may also find the rear of the quickchange hitting the fuel tank. That will require a notch in the front edge of the tank and also remember that gear changes may require the car be lifted up so that the rear end hangs down far enough to remove the rear cover. 1932 up are more difficult to run Q C rearends than Model A and T.

Are you wanting to run it for the "look" or are you considering a high performance engine? The rear axles can be converted to 9 inch Ford if you have any concerns of stock axle breakage. You can do the modification yourself if you have access to a machine shop, or Hot Rod Works sells the parts and does the modifications.
