I have a 2001 pontoon that had a 3.0l alpha one gen 2 drive. I am changing engines to a 4.3. I have EVERYTHING for the 4.3 swap but when it comes to changing the gimbal housing and transome plate I would like to not change that because I had just rebuilt it with new boots, shift cable and sensors And I currently have power steering. The new transome plate is for manual steering not sure if it makes them different or not. When I compare the two they are identical except the gen 2 has the external oil reservoir and the rams are different. The gimbal bearing is set at the same back spacing between the two and the bearing is the same size. The engine has the gen one coupler. So is there any reason that I cannot use the gen one drive on gen 2 gimbal housing?
