Thumbs up Crossover U-joint?? ANSWERED MOOG 447

Hey guys.. I am having a bit of an issue... I am wanting to try to locate a u-joint that is a crossover that will work with the parts I have/am about to buy..

I looked on oreillys and the stock replacement front u-joint for my 93 s-10 2wd 4.3L short cab short bed is a 235 u-joint.

I am wanting to buy the turbo 400 slip yoke for my trans that uses the 1350 u-joint. Supposed to be one of the best and most durable around. But I can not find a crossover u-joint to fit the application. I considered getting the driveshaft rebuilt, and may have to once I get the turbo 400 in place, but its $250 to do it. So if I can situate the trans and engine to where the driveshaft will fit, I wont have to do anything but change the u-joint. I am looking at running mainly throttle only for power, but could wind up with nitrous..

If anyone has found a ujoint for this setup, let me know please?

MOOG 235 u-joint is listed as "1344 style." I found a 1344 to 1350 conversion joint.

this is a precision brand u-joint, not a moog. Do not know if there is any difference in them or not.

Precision 235 still lists as 1344 style.

this has actually kicked me into a speed search for both ujoints by both moog and precision brand. turns out the MOOG 447 conversion ujoint is the perfect fit for both locations.. one side driveshaft, other side trans output yoke.

Thanks man, hope this helps someone else out..
