Yes the stock driveshaft length is retained. You want a Napa 447 U Joint, which is a 1310/1350 conversion. Bob

What is the difference between a 1310, 1350 and 1330? I thought these were material grades.

It deals with the physical size of the joint...the higher the number, the bigger the joint.

So if I want to be able to connect my factory DS to a 1350 I need that NAPA PN. So then does the DS have to be sent in to get the U Joint replaced? Or is that something I can do? What does that cost? What will a factory steel LS1 hold? Do I need a heavy duty slip yoke?

Sorry if this is hijacking. On subject at least.

Correct, if you want to retain the factory driveshaft, you need the 447 U Joint to go from the factory 1310 to the 1350 yoke. It is something that you can do yourself, most auto manuals describe how to do it. The stock driveshaft though isn't that strong, and many people have broke them, and when they go they bang the hell out of the bottom of your car, sometimes smashing the exhaust system as well.
I carry the PST brand of driveshafts, which use 3.5" aluminum and have a 1350 yoke on them, along with two heavy duty 1350 U Joints. The cost is $399.99 plus shipping. Bob

I know the alumiunum one is not that strong, but what will the steel one take. Thanks for the info EPP but I am on a tight budget. If a factory steel unit will take me to 600 horse than I will be happy.

I wouldn't trust the steel one past 400 rwhp myself, you might get lucky, but 600 hp is really pushing it. Bob
