75 high boy
Need help finding driveline that won't break for a 75 high boy,429,automatic.I have not been able to dyno but am guessing 700hp or more.I have had 7 driveline's built that have twisted in the middle.The company I use will no longer cover under warranty and was unable to build one that would handle it.if I drive it easy it's OK but if I get on it even a little it snaps.At 75 mph I floored it and done the same.I am sure there is a company that handles these things but it's expensive to find out just because it needs to be special made

Built a stock shaft each time? Or heavy wall tubing as part of the build?

I realize this sounds absurd, but what about 4" steam pipe ? Now all you need to find are U-Joints that will hold up.

I believe the driveshaft is supposed to be the weak link to prevent damage to more expensive components. Just out of curiosity, will it allow you to get rolling if little power is applied? I have had Macks wring driveshafts like pretzels with 3" tubing But heavy duty 4" did the job.
Of course they didn't come close to 700HP ! |
