Looks like a 280 lower, the upper looks like a combination of several different drives.
It is not all original. Some of the things like the tilt pivot pins look like bolts.

Thanks for the input guys..

So if i aim for 275/280 anodes.. I shouldnt go far wrong?

Also, will this fill through a dipstick fir the gearcase oil? Or can i pump through lower bolt?

Cheers.

Where the shifter linkage isThe first pics shows it an allenhead screw about 5/16 allenhead.That's where you fill it.Looks like a 280 with a few parts from a 275.
Zincs from a 280 will work.J

Should be straight 40 weight oil

Sorry but the above picture is a tough way to perform a simple task. I think you're getting this one confused with a Merc drive. On the Volvo outdrives of this era, it's a straight through shot so you don't need to pump it in from the bottom. Fill from the allen head screw above the shift shoe cover. Remove the dipstick for a vent path. Use the same type of motor oil as the engine. 10W-30 works fine. New o-rings for both are a good idea.

It's cheap insurance to do pressure and vacuum tests as well so you cut down on the number of surprises. A manual will really help you out.
