    Will a 3.8 OMC outdrive stand the pressure behind a 5.0

    Both outdrives are 1985 models, the 5.0 one is shot and there's a decent priced 3.8 for sale. Was just curious if they'd interchange. It's a friends boat and he's gave up on it, but if they'll swap out, I'll put it on for him. Thanks for your replies in advance....
