Default Upgrading to 1350 yolks

Taking a driveshaft that has 1310 series (or whatever size yolks are on our stock aluminum driveshaft F-body) and upgrading to 1350 yolks, what is required? I'm looking to purchase a 3.5" alum driveshaft (used), but I think it has stock yolks, but I'm setup for 1350's. Just seeing if its worth it.

Thanks.

It would be odd for such a large DS to have stock sized u-joints caps, it may just have a conversion (1350-1310) u-joint on it that you'd have to replace with a standard 1350 joint.

It's not real practical to change to larger u-joints unless you use a u-joint with 1310 on one side and 1350 on the other side, I wouldnt recommend that but it is possible.
I'd just get a 1350 series driveshaft.
You will also need a pinion yoke for 1350 series u-joints.
I dont have them on our web site yet but we have them, Precision Shaft Technologies makes them for us.

Thanks
