I finally got my engine rebuilt after buying an 19 ft Sunbird (sitting 3 years). The engine wouldn't turn over after installation- come to find out the outdrive (1st generation Alpha) is frozen up. I removed it from the boat and started dissassembly, the upper gearbox was frozen and rusted- looked like it may got water inside. My question is: will a 2nd generation alpha 1 bolt up to my bellhousing? If possible, what would I need to do to convert? Thanks
