Question Advice needed

Hey you all, I have been a mopar lover for years and finally have my own, a 69 dart swinger. What I need to know is what rearend would you all recommend for street use with about 300-350 hp.
Th car has what i have been told is a 71/4. Will this work or will I have to find something else. I have a 68 dart gt also that i purchased for parts how can i find out what rear is under it.
Thank you for any help you could offer.
