No. The 1973 motor is set up for the drives that run from 1973 -1977 on the 115 and 85 and from 1973 through 1976 on the 135. Everything to do with shifting outside of the gearcase is mechanical on those models.

thanks I can get the 115 for 100 bucks are cheaper. I still may get it and look around for a cheap lower unit.

There are many lower units around for that series. They were very good systems and they don't get hurt easily. I still have three extras in the shed including a brand new one that has never been used.
