My brother was the first guy I ever heard of that put a chevy 350 (about 450 to 500 HP) in a Toyota 4 x 4 truck (~1979) He used a TH400 tranny, and the point I wanted to make is that the rear end held up for about 40k miles ! (Then he replaced it with a shortened Chevy rear) This was 40K of severe abuse!
If you have the stones, and the patience (I lack the patience part) then try it, and you can have bragging rights!
