The dimensions are the same. I sold many 1LE shafts (from V8 cars) to members who had V6's. Apparently the two are the same length.

Re: F body question
700R4 or T5 (the shaft is the same length and will fit either).

Re: F body question
Sorry, no. The 1LE (alum shaft) is the same length as the OE steel shaft. The fourthgen alum shafts should fit as well, IIRC.
