I still might get the axle and change the yoke on my propshaft.... there's just a lot of other stuff going on right now, and the u-joint/yoke issue, while not a killer, is another time sink that means I'll have to store the axle until I can get the time to do it. With the engine build going on, stuff at work getting busy, holidays around the corner and with folks coming from CA for a big upcoming football game, time is a luxury. Today, just as I was about to install the heads on the engine, my next door neighbor showed up for a look at the engine....... there went the rest of the afternoon. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" />

I still think it's better to use the later axle if one is available.... it would be easier to remember what u-joint to use when needed and less trouble to do the swap. That said, it also makes sense to grab what's available when it is - particularly at the price.
