Sydney,
Never thought about the Flaming River/ Borgeson u-joints, however, it would be a somewhat major undertaking as the sector would have to be modified extensively. As you know, the u-joint is welded to either end. That joint would have to be cut out and the new one welded in I suppose. After reading your mail I revisited my u-joint and it is not rusty and does not appear to be binding. I swear its the heat from the headers. As stated earlier, when I installed the heat shield I had a huge difference and it takes much longer for the "binding" to begin. Cold operation is perfect, its only after slow operation that the binding appears.
I may have to look at the Flamng River u-joint. Thanks for the tip!

Tim B. I may have to get in touch with you next time i'm in DFW, since Flower Mound isn't that far north.Thanks for the help.
