Just got back from Moser's with the rearend. perches look good although they didn't box them in. I'll do it tomorrow since I didn't want to drive another 3 hour round trip and wait 2 days. At a glance, everything else looks good regarding pinion angle and brake hose bkts. will post picts and progress tomorrow. gotta hit the shower: It's date night with DW. Heading to a great steak place in Ft. Wayne. i think a Martini is in order....

i have a spicer in my garage thats twisted. and it was just behind a 440. the clutch got it. my guess is its Chinese with spicer stamped on it but....

Put up a pic of it from all sides so i can see, spicer would be cast in not stamped

I think i'm gonna saw the yoke in half, lengthways, and mount 1/2 in a frame in the bathroom and the other 1/2 in a frame over the shop door... maybe call the mancave "THE TWISTED YOKE" or "TWISTED YOKE SALOON"... something like that.. silly sh1t...

Not a bad name at all

got everything back together yesterday (probably should have been mowing yard instead). oh well.. drive shaft should be here tuesday from Mark Williams. couple extra shots of the "crash cart" and the back shop, where the dirty work happens.

We'll see who wins the next go-round; me or the torque demon.

drives shaft in. done and... done.

now if it will stop raining.

Did you check the Drive shaft for straightness, it has to have damage if you cooked the yoke. The dana old style truck yoke is really good if you can find any still in old stock. The new units are all made in China. I bet the Shaft is toast as well.

Snake. I trashed the old DS and installed a new Mark Williams shaft. 3-1/2" 1350 joints. good to 800 HP and 6K ++ The first shaft was a 2-3/4 w/1310 front u-joints. wwaaayy under-dutied I discovered. The fresh engine dynoed at just under 600hp/600tq. port matching and hydraulic roller cam made a huge difference. gained about 100/100. should be good to go.

68. Wow. The real deal twisted. How did you find it? Routine inspection or some new noise/symptom? BTW great shot down the yoke. Might copy and blow that one up for the shop.

I was getting ready for my dana swap, went to get the drive shaft out and it wouldn't move forward or back. ended up beating it out with a hammer. luckfully it didn't seem to hurt the trans output shaft. i've had it out several times with no issues, but with the addition of a solid flat tappet and getting the tune dialed in its starting to hurt driveline parts. it is a stick, thats the biggest issue.

mine wouldn't slide forward but at least it would slide out. What clutch are you using? I smoked a McLoed and put in a Centerforce dual disk this go-round.. I'm getting a chatter when not under load. i understand the noise when disengaged thats the floater plate, but i also get a chatter when cruising just off peddle.

In my experience chatter can be the pressure plate not making even contact with the disc and flywheel. Somewhere here I put up a thread showing a checking setup I came up with using my mill. The checking and adjusting procedure worked like a charm and the result is no more chatter.

Ya, I remember that thread now. Problem is, I don't have a mill. I think the guys in the maint. shop at work have one though. I'll see if I can find the thread. I also want to put a few more miles on it before I tear it back down, just to see if it quiets down. only drove it around the block so far. ~~6 miles. Thanks Meep.

SS, Not sure what you're asking.

 

[Supershafts]

Oh. I'm not really concerned about the weight and I told them to use what they thought was appropriate.

 

[kidmopar]

i use a mark williams billet yoke, pricey but no problems to worry about,

Weight is performance
