It was removed from a 3.7 liter 170hp four cylinder. The ratio was 1.84 to 1 Will this Gimble housing fit a 19985 Sundancer with a 260 HP 1.50

It sounds like you are replacing the entire transom assembly? As long as they are both Alpha models, then yes, the swap will be fine. (Just make sure the replacement in not a gen 2).
