Trivia answer:
To help handle the additional torgue, ONLY X-code cars had the rear shock move to behind the rear axle. To support the upper shock-mounts, plates were added to the differential-hump, inside the trunk. Similar plates were used the following year on the Javelins & AMX's.
In this picture you can see one of those plates. Also note, this picture is of a 220 (disputing the list previously posted):

Seems Rambler used these items just like the Dodge & Plymouth cars with 440 six pack and 426 Hemi motors, they used extra bracing and thick plates and torque boxes on their cars.
