Aluminum drive shaft question

[87GT Drop Top]

Can I use my stock slip yoke on an after market aluminum drive shaft?

we had to get a special joint to make it work. i had ds and gave it to my dad. he used it on his 4 banger work car. i think it was a 1330 to a 1350 joint. a drive shaft place would tell u what it is for sure.

I believe you need a precision 448 u joint for a 1330 to 1350 joint. Don't quote me on that. Honestly the 1330 will be the weak point so you might as well get a 1350 yoke too... Why upgrade everything and still have the same strength.

Good point thanks!

I have a chance to get a aluminum drive shaft cheap without the slip yoke. I will pass.

I'm not knocking a good deal. By all means an AL driveshaft has many benifits over the stocker. Just keep it mind if you do start putting some power down to do the yoke properly in the future.

I understand what your saying, but I will be building my engine soon. It will be about 420-450HP, so I will just wait for another one to come along.
