51 front axle strength.

New here and relatively new to the ad trucks. My friends and i all have projects awaiting large financial contributions, so we are building this truck in the meantime for fun, as affordably as possible. The truck has a clean frame and very nice looking patina, although id prefer a little less rust in the cab corners. I have a mustang ii front suspension, an s10 chassis, a 91 firebird parts car (no motor), and a '96 suburban 2x4 with a 6.5 turbo diesel; you can see where this is going. I have no concerns about transferring the diesel and 4l80 to the old truck, my concerns are frontend weight. We would rather use the stock frame rather than the s10. Mustang ii im afraid i cant trust. Would you guys be comfortable with the stock front axle holding up? I think the motor weighs 2-300lbs more than a bbc. Thanks for any input in advance.
