<DIV>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.</DIV>
