they are the only 2 listed for a V8 regardless of what gearbox is fitted.

in my 110 upto 1986 parts book it says FRC6243 Front prop V8 5speed to chassis 252257

& FRC8386 from chassis 252258

hth.

Hmmmm

So what on earth is the difference if same gearbox fitted ?

Frogs seem to have ones for 4 speed vs 5 speed but to my

mind the opposite way round to what I would expect ?

Need to be sure I order the right one and am a tad confused

looking at the page I've linked to, the UJ's are different, so could be the later prop has the bigger UJ fitted.

Nige, did you get to the bottom of this?

I'm just looking at this as my front prop has a lot of wear in the sliding splines.

I just read elsewhere that FRC6243 was for a 4spd V8 and FRC8386 for a 5 spd V8.

My chassis is 255*** which point towards the later I believe.

If you look here it says all models EXCEPT V8!
