I have a '68 Dana in my '71 Road runner. I did the MP e-body offset hangers and shackles and welded the spring seats on to match.

Your title says "stock mounted" meaning "is it a bolt in job"? As described above, it is not. The spring perches on the Dana are narrower, so you need to move the springs inward, the axle perches outward, or some combination of both. If your existing car was not a Dana car, you'll also need a shorter driveshaft.
So, number #41, My car was born with a Dana 60. It’s a 440+6 factory 4 speed car. It’s a roller now with an 8 3/4

The 70 dana is narrower drum to drum, than your stock 71 dana, and the spring perches are narrower too. You can move the spring perches, and you might need different wheels with less backspace (or wheel spacers).
For a V code Charger Super Bee, I would buy the correct Dana 60 for the car. Unless the car was a former racecar and has been modified. If you are going to do a correct restoration on the car,then you will want a correct width rear axle. I have a 71 U code 440 Magnum 4 speed car that someone did the same thing to.
Thanks,
The car 71 charger SB with no previous notification that I can tell. Yes, I would like to restore with correct Dana 60.
