1984 OMC Stern Drive (2.5L 4 cyl) can it be swapped with 1988 OMC (2.3L stern drive)?

I know the older 2.5's were the same from 1973-1985. Mine has the 18/21 teeth. Any thoughts?

not even close
the two are completely different designs of outdrive, sharing no common parts (except propellers)

Isn't an '84 a Stringer and an '88 a Cobra?
