Hoy,

Is the lenght of the propeller shaft for Monza the same for V6 and V8 engines ?

Hello,
since no one else has responded, you're stuck with my reply for now. :lol:
It is my opinion that driveshaft (propeller shaft ) length would be determined more by transmission (gearbox) type, than engine displacement
A manual trans. driveshaft will differ from an automatic trans. version, in any given model year.
look more for similarities in this area, when seeking a replacement shaft.
hope this helps.

H bodies came with a variety of engines, 4, V6 and V8 along with several different transmissions. I do know there were several different length driveshafts (propellers as you call it) but I do not know the lengths or which ones interchange offhand. So, I would be very careful if you are buying one and are unsure of what you need.
