Lightweight cobra pinion yoke

[luv2cheat]

Has anyone ran across a lightened cobra style pinion yoke or something lightweight for an 8.8? Seems to me somebody would have something available.

Is this what you are looking for?

If that's aluminum yes, but it's steel no. In that picture you can see how much un-needed metal is on the pinion flange yoke. I would thing someone would have lightened a stocker up by now. I will modify one myself if I cant find anything. I am a little concerned if I modify one it may not be balanced.

is that really a place you want to lose weight in? hmm

No, it is steel. I fail... LOL

 

[luv2cheat]

It's rotating weight, so yes.

Gotcha, good luck!

Strange and Moser both make one. Denny's driveshafts also sells them.

Problem with any of those, is they bolt to the Pinion however what about the Driveshaft side?

That one from Denny's (where I bought my parts) will just go strait to the U joint on the DS. It just does away with the pc I posted in the pic.

OK. I said what I did because the pictures clearly show something different!

I was probably wrongly assuming he had an aftermarket 1pc drive shaft with 1350 U-joints on the pinion end........oooops

I have a 1 piece spydershaft. So unless I get another driveshaft I am stuck using the cobra flange.

 

[05stroker]

Looks like I should have bought this.

To go this little beauty I have on the car.

I may have to pick up the rear end yoke. I have a 1350 u joint on the trans and a 1330 on the rear right now.

Yoiu can get the bastard 1330 to 1350 u joint from Dennys also.

So are you saying I can replace the pinion yoke with the strange piece, remove the yoke from the DS and the driveshaft will be the correct length?

 

[05moneypit]

Sorry...not much help, I don't know what the spydershaft looks like on the pinion end

No, just that they have the u joints to do it. If I was you I would call Denny's tomorrow and they should have the answers you need.

Do you know if your DS has a 1330 or 1350 u joint?
