There wasn't any "Heavy Duty" ujoints for those drives. Mercruiser only called for one type between 78 and 82.

Item #13 below shows the ujoint itself.

I guess what I want to know is if the u-joints for a gen 1 or 2 will fit my pre alpha

You don't have a 'pre-alpha', nobody does. What you have is a Mercruiser 1-drive, or 'MC-1' for short. There is only one uni-joint specified for this drive, and the Gen II unis will NOT fit. The same uni is used on this drive when it's behind a 454, so you little SBC won't hurt them.

Part number is -75832T
