Default MWC Rear, which u-joints?

Hey guys, I have a mwc rearend I just installed in my car. The driveshaft Im using if from a late ls1 f-body. The stock rear u-joint seems a little too wide to fit in the pinion yoke. Am I wrong or I just didnt try hard enough?

Which part# do I need if the stocker dont fit?

Thanks!

I specified my Yoke type so don't understand your question. I reused the same Strange driveshaft from my 10 bolt setup... 1350 to 1330 conversion joint.

So this means I need to install a #447 joint on the driveshaft? I want the best joint available.

yes... that is correct. i have used and sold several of these ujoints and have no problems with them at all. your driveshaft will fail long before the ujoint does.
