If it's the drive off the boat in your signature, then yes its 1.50.

Re: outdrive gear ratio

There isn't any way of telling what gear ratio it is from the SN, and since none of the boats in your signature will take an Alpha I Gen II outdrive, it's impossible to say what the ratio really is.
If you look near the drive serial number stamped in the decal, it should give you the ratio.
Since it is a Gen II, it WILL NOT fit on a Gen I transom shield

Re: outdrive gear ratio

With a 5.0L, yes it should be a 1.50 gear ratio.

Here's the manual for that drive

and the one for your engine also.
