Can someone tell me the engine and stern drive models I have ?

[madsonp]

I have a boat manufactured in 1974 and I'm trying to figure out the model of engine and stern drive that I have, mainly the stern drive. The engine is a Ford 302 V8 with a 2 barrel holly carb, the serial number of the engine is 3974355. The number I can fine for the stern drive is 4013400. I've tried the search function on some different pages for the stern drive but it comes back that the number is not found, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, I appreciate it, I was thinking that's what I had, but all the identification guidance I've seen was confusing to me to where I wasn't sure.

So then would this be the correct water pump kit for my stern drive ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Water-Pump...ash=item3f9a305012:g:bl4AAOSwVm5Y9EvD&vxp=mtr

Thank you so much for your speedy reply, and help, one question though, the part number you gave me differs from the one on eBay, is the one you gave me the correct number ?

Normally I don't buy Sierra, so what I did was look up your pump housing
http://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/30852/1579/6

Then searched on the part number for the pump 46-96148T1 and the one you found as I see now was 46-96148A8 which in most cases is the same but older stock. Anything after the 46-96148 is like revisions. Again as for Sierra I cannot say
