i can't really imaging that you could swap the yoke from integral rearend to the 8" style. But if yes, why not sure. The u-joint might still be tiny but if it held up his old I6, it'll do know as well since the engine is not changed.
Anyway, no measurements no point in discussing ;-)

I actually meant that maybe my 7.5" axle had been upgraded to a 8" yoke (1310?). Perhaps a result of a hunt for a drive shaft replacement?

But I see what JMD and Kalli are saying about doing the reverse - so BA can continue to use his I6 driveshaft.

I'm going to call a local driveshaft company tomorrow and see if they have the hybrid u-joint. If not my grandfather said I could have 1 of his V8 shafts. Also going to order my u-joint u-bolt kit from Napa.

No, it isn't bad attitude, it is bad A$$. All I could think of when I made it.

I have not measured yet, will do that later today since I can't work on it right now.
