What to do with my OMC King Cobra Outdrives?

[swamphog76]

So my dilemma.... I have a 1991 Four Winns Liberator 251 (twin screw) which I believe has the cone clutch King Cobras that are so hard to find parts for. I have to preface by saying that this was my dad's boat which he decided to upgrade 5.7 Chevy engine parts. One engine was completely redone which is not an issue. My main issue is that the boat has very very low hours and then my dad passed, i wanted to pickup the project but i don't have a lot of information on where it stood when he died. Both outdrives were removed and broken down but i believe it was just to be blasted and painted. Can anyone confirm that these are indeed cone clutch Cobra's?

Thanks for response.

Model is 574BPEPWS. Looks like it is cone clutch but not one of the joint venture drives with Volvo.

Sure looks like a King based on model number. Have a picture of the drive?

Since it’s disassembled, this is the best picture I have of it.
