Engine first start

What I want to know, is HTF did a Ford owner get so many PB members so close to HIM?

All seriousness aside, congrats on the successful fireup.

Don't have much for options here. The way my rear end is with the 8.8 it has a round 3.5" flange.

If i want to upgrade anything i have to pull the rear end apart and i don't feel like it.

So it's just your basic steel driveshaft, fully balanced with 1330 u joints.

In order to step up to a chromoly shaft i have to pull the flange off the rear and go to the 4.5" flange (like on the 03/04 cobra) at that point i could go to 1350 u joints, but if I'm going that far i might as well put a slip yoke in there and disassemble the rear to do so.

Get it right, or get it running... I'm going with getting it running. The 1330's will hold up just fine with my expected power levels in the near future

I have 1350 at the Trans end of my driveshaft and 1330 on the rear end of the driveshaft . I have made enough low & mid 10 second passes to fill up a shoe box with time slips. You will be fine.

not at all , I would have them on both ends if I wanted to change my pinion yoke.
Before I change my pinion yoke I will spend the money to change out the worm clamps on my rad hoses, that is a much more important upgrade .

Your looking to join the heavy hitter club aren't you. Will you get polished SS or anodized clamps?

hay man, I can't be a peon my whole life. If I see an opportunity to move up into the upper echelon of the racing community I have to take it if they will accept me . All I need is some anodized clamps to put on a new car , a new truck and trailer and 4 new shinny jack stands.

Some of the guys on the Chevelle forum who are pulling the front tires are running 1310s on their driveshafts.
I was freakin' shocked when I read that.
 
DAMMIT!!! I think in Precision numbers, due to a previous life!!

Just going to go off and leave me at the bottom all by myself. I suppose of all the current weekly racers on here I have the slowest car.

I ran cheap 1310's on my 2960lb. pickup truck running high 9.50's with 1.27 sixty' times. Never an issue.

High 9.50's, I always wondered what that truck ran. Ripper would have beat you with a 200 shot! You probably don't even remember that thread.
 
I went with 1350's on both ends, simply because it was included in the price and I wasn't complaining about the price
Damn Fox, grab that aluminum shaft for the future
Good luck dude, can't wait to see video of it moving under power

That aluminum shaft won't fit.

I'm a real boy, three pedals.
