Re: will 1990 king outdrive fit 1992 king outdrive
will a1990 king cobra out drive model#3868074 port shift linkage . has dome top
For one thing, that is not a 1990 drive. It's a SX Cobra (Volvo/OMC drive) from a 1994 7.4GL with a 1.63 gear ratio.
The drive bellhousing is different, there is no raw water pump on the outdrive, and it has a completely different shift setup. You also need a 1.50 Gear ratio with the 5.8.
The words "King Cobra" doesn't mean much, as there are 3 completely different outdrives called "King Cobra" and none of them are interchangeable.
1. OMC KC with dog clutch in lower. Raw water pump mounted on back of drive
2. OMC KC with cone clutch in upper. Raw water pump on back of outdrive
3. OMC/Volvo KC (aka SX King Cobra) cone clutch in upper, no raw water pump. Shifts like Volvo drives.
