Axle Strength

Hey Guys. My son and I are building up a 87 trazer for him to harass the neighbors with when he is home from the Marines. How much motor can a set of stock 1/2 ton axles handle, and what kind of gear ratio am i looking for to make this truck feel like a muscle car with 35" tires. Im guessing 4:56 or 4:88's? Thanks for the help. Kevin
