I need a alpha one outdrive with a 1.50 to 1 ratio. i bought a used one from a guy who said it was. My question is now that i think about it his boat looked older than mine so now i am worried that i may have bought a "pre" alpha outdrive instead of an alpha one drive. How do i make certain it is an alpha one? It does not have any markings on it "been painted" and i really dont want to break it open to check for parts. is there any specific spot on the drive i can check to look for a number or a code that will tell me what type it is or what gear ratio it is. I know his boat was a v-8 but instead of a 350 it may have even been a 454. If it happens to be a pre alpha unit will it still work on my boat with my 350 engine?
