I have a 1988 big block 454 with an alpha one Gen I OD. Original!! I do baby the outdrive of course as alpha's don't like the torque of a big block..
Now boat is out of water I see some oil coming out of upper half at forward part of OD, above the split in cases.
Been looking at used outdrives and new from SEI. Hard to find 1.32 gear ratio meant for these bigger motors, so I'm probably gonna go with the SEI outdrive.
$800 for the SEI or $400 for a used 1.32 ratio upper half. ?????? what to do...???
