1977 85 hp evinrude lower unit compatability

[mike0331]

Hi, I am wondering if a 1978 85hp lower unit is compatable with my 1977 85hp lower unit? The one i am looking at has a bad clutch dog and reverse gear. My problem is the cover and pin assy?. Can i swap the parts? I am new to this and this is my first time. any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am not sure which parts might be compatible, but the lower units are not swapable. You can compare the parts against each other but I doubt too many interchange.
