is there a 7260-1330 conversion joint?

well...i found my answer, and it's NO, as i thought....
so....
i can either stay with a 7260 joint and save some cash by getting a 7260 yoke, or i can get a whole new driveline and yoke for either a 7290 or 1350 setup.....what do you all think???

"how strong" is a 7260 joint????

I would swap to a 7290 u-joint driveshaft at the bare minimum. I know you mentioned you'd like to make it to the 11 second mark, I just wouldn't risk it with the small 7260 u-joint.

Just remember this, if you break a u-joint you have a very good chance of hurting the transmission. Most of my customer cars are getting the 1350 1 ton U-joint driveshafts.

For what its worth, my red car has been 1.38 on the 60 foot, off a transbrake launch with an 8 3/4, and 7260 u-joint front and rear. :shock: :D
