Curiosity question... I have a 1995 OMC SX joint venture outdrive (50FAPHUE) and was wondering if it's possible to install a Volvo dual prop DP lower end. Are the Volvo drives metric threads? I know I need 7/16" nuts to RnR the OMC outdrive, so I assume the entire OMC unit has SAE threads and I suspect the answer is no.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use a duo prop lower end. Your drive is an HU drive no matter if it has Volvo or OMC stickers on it. They are identical drives.

DP-SM. Not sure of ratio? The model number you posted is a 5.0L Ford (302). Your SX ratio should be 1.66. Not sure is the 1.95 or less?
