1976 Mercruiser with Ford 351W: Outdrive that was on the boat has 888 decals on it (888 (2 BBL.) FORD 302 V-8 1971-1977) but the '76 351 is a 233 (233 FORD 351 V-8 1975-1977). The serial number is 4228535 so it overlaps both with the 'and up' in the parts finders.
The 888 is a 1.50 ratio but the 233 uses a 1.97. The boat is 45+ years old so I am sure things have been switched about and my outdrive case is in pretty bad shape. I think it was used to do some trenching at one point.
What should I be looking for? SEI has the 106 and the 104 (short yoke), I can't justify the $3900+ for a Quicksilver unit.
Thanks
