side yoke questions
 

hey all! I was wondering if the u-bolt style of side yoke would be strong enough for my engine configuration which is a 350 sb, around 300 hp max, 3:73 gears, and TH-350 tranny. I would think the u-bolt style would be good enough so just let me know all help is appreciated.

You are thinking right, many stock Vettes, with more horses, use them with no prob. I don't know of another design that was, or is used. :)
After all, the same design isused in drive shafts, and look what they have been put through. ;)

the other design is a cap with a bolt going through each side. i know that is stronger but its more expensive, I mean 300 hp is the max I dont care to have some big time dragster just something fast and nice.

I'll be pumpin' 400 HP when I get my 454 installed, and the stock yokes will be just fine. I too, am not into drag racin'. Justa nice quick cruiser. ;)

Weren't these same yokes used on the L88s? They were very conservatively rated at 430 Hp but must mags at the time said based on 1/4 times, they were more like 500+.
