I saw your plea for help. I updated my drive to an 800 series mechanical shift stringer from 1984. So far so good. The shifter cable setup is the weak spot with the drive. If I had it to do over, I would go with a 5.7 Mercruiser. Either way, you are facing major modifications to the transom, deck, bilge, and engine mounts.
