Just enough power to break everything behind the crankshaft.

I was impressed that it looks to be well made. I've bought a few u-joints over the years that were really cheaply made for more money.

Neapco??????????? Oh, no.....

LOL, no just teasing. I stopped using neapco because they were always machined slightly larger. Therefore, one I used a neapco joint any other brand was then loose. Once neapco always neapco.

I hope you bought two, nothing worse than busting your conversion u-joint on your first good launch and having to wait for another one. Not that I would ever wish that on anyone, just hate to see someone pick up a case of my luck. :P


Now get that ducker on the road and run the duck out of it. :mrgreen:

It won't end up back on the road until my 01 sells. I can't afford insurance on both right now.

Well looks like I'm ordering a yoke for the rear end. I measured with a tape measure since I can't find my calipers. Looks like its a 1330 not a 1350.

The joint is too big? Like a lot or a little tiny bit?

Its off a good amount. I found a old 1330 we had here and it fits.

I haven't priced what it'd cost to get a driveshaft made, but I'd get a shaft made with 1410s and plan to take an inch out of it when the 47RH goes in.

Isn't the front joint on the slip yoke 1410?
