For my new rear installation I have new 1350 yokes both front and rear. I can purchase an excellent driveshaft with 1330 joints but would like to know just how weak the 1330s are. If bought I would use the 1330/1350 conversion ujoints. How much horsepower can the 1330 joints safely withstand????

The dart I am building right now has a 1350 front, and a 1330 rear for the dana.

It was beat running 9s with a small block for years with 1.30s 60 fts and I am putting a 750 HP big block in it right now so I hope the 1330 is strong enough....

We use the spicer heavy duty maintenance free joints in them.

I been using a 1330 joint for several years in my car running low tens high nines at 3000 lbs. No issues to date but give me time. I can tear some stuff up.

The 1330 are good for what you are doing. In our SS car we run 1310 to save weight. It run high 8's in good air, low 9's in summer at 2700.
