Default T56 driveshaft

What are you guys using for a driveshaft and ujoints. Most of the T56s have a 27 spline output with a 1310 ujoint. The driveshafts are using 1330 ujoints. I know they make a 1310-1330 ujoint. The 2 piece Turbo 350 yoke is a 1310. Anyone just use a 1 piece 1330 27 spline yoke. I have been using the 1 piece yoke on my Tremec for years and just press the ujoint in/out. Any thoughts?

Did you have to shorten it at all. I like your cross member setup. iwas thinking of doing something like that. Care to share any details on that also.

You will have to shorten it. The problem most run into is the 350 yoke wants to hit the tunnel. There are a few yokes out there that have rounded edges or clearances.

The crossmember is a no brainer, just cut out the center section of the stock member and peice in some plate steel to your liking. You will have to re-low the e-brake cable at the end of the project for proper fitments.
