Any drawbacks to larger Ujoints?
I'm having a driveshaft built for a custom T56 install and I was wondering. The stock setup used 1310 Ujoints. I was going to upgrade to 1330, and I'm finding lots of 1350 yokes as well. Any reason not to go overkill with the 1350s? Its going in a 96 impala SS, 8.5" rear with 4.10s, engine is a 383 LT1 making about 400 at the crank.

As far as driveshafts go, bigger IS better, especially if you have the driveshaft tunnel room. Why limit yourself to the torque potential of the driveshaft joints???

Agree
I agree. If there is no huge cost or weight increase then bigger is better.

Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming.
The project in mind is a viper T56 that I modified with a GM front adapter and tailhousing, but kept the viper output shaft. Upgrading to a 1350 output yoke is no more expensive, and the rear is going to be torn apart for a ring and pinion and bearings so installing a 1350 yoke there is just a matter of a $40 difference. Thanks
