Delima - Have a 205 case and a stock 1310 front driveshaft with the cv joint. Want to run 1350 u-joints all around (front and rear).

I dont believe a driveshaft without the cv joint will clear the factory crossmember, will it ??

I am only running 6-7'' of lift

Would like to use the flange type that has the 4 bolts that come in from the front.

What are you guys running that have 1350 u-joints

thanks guys

My rear is 1350 w/flange & CV (1410 Diff yoke)

Front is still 1310 w/CV

I would guess a driveline shop like HighAngle or Tom Woods or the like, could set you up with 1350 front. If/when I destroy my 1310 setup I want to step up to 1350..but I'm sure to do it right I'm looking at 500 bucks or so...

Do you have a D60 front? Duno if they make a D44/10bolt 1350 yoke?

I would try and keep the CV inplace...
Good Luck

Yes, Dana 60 front, it appears I might have to go back to my 1310 setup or switch out the front output to a 30 spline, currently have the 10 spline front output. ?

I better run a driveshaft loop so when the 1310 breaks it doesn't take out the oil pan too

Let em know what you guys are running!!

Use a Ford 32 spline front output with a rear 205 1350 yoke or 32 spline flange from the front of a 208.I'm goin to run the 1350 when I get my doubler together.

I just dealt with him 2 days ago. He whipped up 2 all new shafts in about an hour. Super clean work!

I have heard of running that Ford output shaft problem is, where do I find one. these cases are indesturctable so there are not many out threre peoplea are parting out I would think. Does the entire case have to come apart to change this out???

You just have to take the ps side of the case apart,really simple to do.I might have another shaft if you want me to look.

1-Tonmudder - Absolutley, if you have one let me know what you want for it and we can discuss. Would this be the Ford 32 spline that you have?

Thanks
