After doing a test run of my 3.9 efi conversion I found a large amount of vibration coming from the rear axle and a lot of violent shaking.

Checked the handbrake housing all free and the rear axle spins freely so took the prop off to inspect and found this:

Does this mean I need a wide angle propshaft as I've realised that the metal marks is what the noise is???

Your help as always very appreciated
 
It's only happened since I fitted the v8, before when it was a 2.5 N/a there were no problems with it?

Have you changed props and flanges to suit the V8?? V8's props have wider Yokes

No I havnt so do I need a v8 wide angle propshaft?

Flange wise where do I start with that?

It sounds very much like it. flanges are held on with a single nut which is visible when you undo the prop.
 
Oh ok I know what you mean now.

Do I need to replace both front and rear James?

The only ones I can find are like £250 each cant afford that??
 
Well after going to see the helpful guys at Keith Gott it turns out a wide angle v8 rear prop is a good 2 inches longer than an n/a one so I've ordered a wide angle n/a one hoping this will solve the problem and will update once fitted

Hopefully it's just the one as they are the best part of £160 each!!!
