318? I run the heck out of one. She is going on fourty years. Over 2000 hrs. Mine is coupled to a Velvet Drine. Sorry, can't help you on your drive........but.....INMHO? One of the best dang blocks ever made!

Good Luck!

Could possibly have a Marine Power outdrive or has someone mated a Mercruiser III drive to it.

Have to get a pic of it next time on dock. Dont' think its a Mercruiser. Had boat similar to this one a long time ago with Dana drive and its reverse function that holds drive down while in reverse had rotted away. Don't what that again!!!

Unfortunately hauling the boat out to find out what is missing then ordering then haul again would cost more than its worth. That's why I hoping that it's all there. Do you by any chase know if any of those Dana drives had hydraulic tilt like Merc.

This one does not have the cable coming out the back attached to the drive. Because the trans is inside. So I don't know how all that locking linkage works on this one.
