  Went and done a search on Dana 44's and they seem to be fairly strong, BUT my engine is .040 over 292 with Mummert street port G heads Dove roller rockers zero decked block 264 cam Blue Thunder manifold and toploader 4spd tranny, and 57 recurved dizzy and Pertronixs.

  My worry is the rear u-joint set-up with the caps bolted to the yolk. When I had Driveline Specialists make my new driveline, they told me I should try to replace the yolk with a heavier duty set-up, but I said I was gonna leave it pretty stock under the hood,,,,,, WRONG!! Now I am asking you guys if this is the weak link in my set-up. Should I find a yolk that will fit a Dana 44 with a heavier duty rating?  I just learned tonight by browsing the search that a 65-66 Mustang rear will drop right in, so decisions, decisions.
