I have a 1973 boat with a Ford 302 and a 888 outdrive. The top end gears in the outdrive are stripped. Is there a way to find out what other outdrives might work with this motor? Thanks

I'm kinda hope someone will correct me if i'm wrong , but i would try an 898 - 77-82,or 228 79-82 in particular. If other drives from most of the small block V-8's will bolt on I assume the gear ratio would be close enough that you might have to change the prop as well, otherwise then try what you have available
I hope this helps
