I would say "Not a good idea", but possible, see https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speed...SABEgKupvD_BwE and others I am sure. Once you remove the torque tube you need to add brackets to stop the twist of the axle. The rear end isn't particularly strong. If you are going to build the brackets you should just go with a later rear end.
