If you are going to have your car judged you will definitely lose points with grease fittings. also, not that you are going to beat on that drive line , good old made in the USA non greaseable u-joints are stronger

Spicer SP 5-785X for propeller shaft, and SP 5-799X for half shafts are the permanent lubed, non-greaseable USA replacement joints. Very reasonably priced.
