The factory V8 had a 'beefier' propshaft, with bigger gearbox and axle
drive flanges and UJs, same as the MGC. But as this is almost
certainly a conversion it depends on whether the converter fitted the
bigger shaft or kept the original. My 4-cylinder drive flange is 3
3/8" and the V8 3 7/8", with UJ bearing cups 15/16" and
1", so this looks like a 4-cylinder shaft. Maybe time to beef
it up if usage has wrecked the flange.<br>
