Can you use a Gen 2 outdrive in place of a Gen 1?

[lowkee]

I have a Gen 1 Alpha ('90 bayliner capri 3.0l) and someone on CL is selling a complete Gen 2 outdrive (upper and lower, no gimbal housing). Are the two compatible? Is one preferred over the other?

The price is practically free, so I'd be tempted to buy this one as a backup for my current one.

Nope, not unless you get the transom housing with it
