Default Propeller Shaft U-joint Recommendations

I need to replace the u-joints on my rear drive shaft. Engine=390 stroker (will be here soon), transmission - Megaviper - Rear 3.91 with Detroit trutrac. Current ones are probably factory originals with over 270000 miles on them. The parts manual gives V8014733AA which appears to be a Mopar Performance greasable alternative, but I want to make sure whatever I purchase can withstand the power and torque of the new motor. Any suggestions?

Thanks! You guys are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate all your input!

Get the best quality greasable joint you are willing to spend the money for. Then, keep them greased.

Get moogs problem solver series. I have a 360 and I tossed one of the caps on the joints at the trans and it didn't damage the joint at all. Not even a scratch. They are greasable and Not too expensive. I got mine off rockauto.
