It's OMC. Not the SX style drive.
An easy test is to look at the engine. If you see the ESA module and shift interrupt switches it's a Cobra.
But the Volvo style didn't start till late 93 or 94.

did mercruiser use a 5.8? There is still snow on the ground here but I can't wait for spring, I"ll have to see if I can get a hold of him to find out some more info. I really hope its not an OMC

Mercruiser stopped using Fords in the late 70's.
