Had you ever driven it before putting the 350 in? Are the yokes in phase? I would put the rear on jack stands and turn the drive line and look for run-out.

ya i drove it when it had the 305 in it.
i think i figured it out looks like i got a u-joint for the axle side and it has nice thick snap rings and the joint i put on the slip yoke side ended up having thin skinny snap rings and it looks like one must have popped out making me lose a cup and the shaft fell off. going to get new joints and a new slip yoke now that its trash and build another .
