Lower unit swap

[pita482]

Hey guys was wondering ? Can I swap the lower unit from a (qd) 15, 10hp. Johnson. To a 1957 18hp johnson ?

So, what you thought was a '56 10 HP in your previous thread is actually a '54?

Other than the '54 green paint on the '57 maroon paint, I think it still may work, but I'm not as familiar with the exact lower unit and drive shaft details of the QD-15 as I am of the QD-17. I think the only difference is the paint color, but maybe someone else can chime in and confirm.
