He guys so I’m rebuilding my car again and it about to be time to get a new druveshaft, the old one was too short.
I had 7260 u joint upfront by the transmission and a 7260-7290 conversion u joint in the rear.
I’m under the car taking a look at it wondering how this whole thing is going to hold up.
The car might make 450hp on it’s best day ever, and I’m holding it together with 50yr old bolts on the pinion.
I was thinking about buying new bolts and straps. I wanted to convert it all over to something stronger but I’m not really sure what to do. Any ideas or suggestions could help.... thanks dudes
if your dreaming of your car then it's your dream car....

My Valiant has 7260 u-joints in it and went 10.0@129 with a transbrake. Mike even had an aluminum shaft made with 7260s in it. Most of the time a broken u-joint is caused by improper pinion angle, not horsepower.
