Default LS1/4L60E drive shaft

Making some good progress on my LS swap.

Trying to figure out drive shaft and tranny slip yoke details.

Looks like the stock u-joints are 1330 and both bolt to the slip yoke and the rear axle yoke.

Can you advise which 4L60E slip yoke has bolts and straps? Part number ?

Regards,

A 4L60 is a 27 spline yoke, IIRC, but most 27 spline slip yokes with a bolt on u-joint for a vette are going to be 1310 style, not 1330.

You could use a combination u-joint and the following slip yoke. Depending on the power you plan to make, it might not be a big deal. Typically the bastard u-joints are frowned upon in any high HP situation though.

Thanks guys that's what I needed. Don't see that I have choice but use the 1330/1310 combo u-joint.
