Does a differential add horsepower?

Does a differential increase torque?
Since an open differential limits total torque applied to both drive wheels to the amount used by the lower traction wheel multiplied by two, when one wheel is on a slippery surface, the total torque applied to the driving wheels may be lower than the minimum torque required for vehicle propulsion.

Can a 67-70 rear end be swapped for a 71-72?
Lee: It has been my experience that 67-70 rear ends will keep your 6-bolt bolt pattern. 71-72 will also fit but they are 5-bolt patterns. Any rear end from 6-72 should bolt directly on to your trailing arms, except for GMC’s which are leaf springs.
