datsunan Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well I guess it was bound to happen, I knew it was my week link even though I install heaver duty Spice u-jounts. Launced off the line at the 1/8th mile drags friday night and got some wheel hop, 20ft off the line when it went. Could have been worse, luckly I was getting ready for second and I got the clutch in befor to much damage occured. Put a new u-joint in sat but I'll need to beef it up befor I can race again. Any ideas on what I should use. I've got a 5 speed trans and a 88 lsd so I had to make a yoke to addapt the 73 driveshaft to the 88 lsd yoke. I guess I need to bring my DS to someone and have them make one that is stronger? What do you v-8 guys use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 common v8z driveline is th350/400/m21/m22/t10/ t5/2004r/7004r yoke with a big chevy ujoint and a neapco/spicer adapter that uses the same adapter and the r200 flange of their choice from stealth conversions, aka jtr. Msa makes a pretty nice alum driveshaft with bigger ujoints that are servicible. Wonder if anyone makes datsun yokes that go with a bigger ujoint on the yoke side, the diff side is easy enough to convert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
