Strange 12 bolt U-Joint/pinion yoke question
Hey guys bought a used strange 12 bolt to finish up my build, oddly the pinion yoke is a 1310.. they come from strange with 1350 correct? will this 1310 hold at my power range? (~500rwhp motor and ~700-750rwhp on spray) i did a search for power ratings and didnt come up with anything. the driveshaft i got with it is 1350 on the slip yoke end and 1310 on the pinion side. any input? thanks!!!

I wonder why someone would change the yoke size.. Oh well.. Guess I'll build a new driveshaft if it comes down to it.. May just use the one I have for now, if it gives me problems I'll get it built then..

I broke one going through the traps and it took out both my transmission tail shaft housing and differential pinion yoke, carved a huge gash in my floor pan and destroyed the driveshaft. This was with the required NHRA driveshaft loop too. I was really lucky the trans fluid didn't get on my tires and put me into the wall or even worse the other lane.
It ripped the 1310 U-joint main body center section right out of the caps leaving the stub ends of the center cross section in the caps still bolted to the pinion yoke.
A little money spent now could save you much more down the road.
