I'll have to do some measuring today, but I think you are right about the difference in mount height just eyeballing it. I don't understand why someone would do that. I'll have to do some research for a local shop that can check out this drive shaft. Think those poly mounts would hold up?

After giving it some thought I believe I'm going to just go ahead and have a new drive shaft built and change over to 1350 yokes...no sense to keep pounding on this stock 45 year old shaft and 1310 u-joints. My only other decision then will be using poly or steel motor mounts.
