1963 Johnson 40 HP manual shift and 33 Johnson gear case

[grumpyguy]

Question for the knowledgeable here...
Will the gear case for a 33 HP Johnson fit for a 1963 Johnson 40 HP? I had thought it would as I see lists the same part number for each, however I have been told the 33HP has no thermostat so they are not compatible

Thanks in advance!

I'm in Toronto...engine runs great but gearcase leaks and bolts holding lower half of gearcase onto upper half leak. Would be a shame to scrap this thing

 

[grumpyguy]

are there any other big twin engines for that era that would fit this? Having problems finding this part

I sent them an email. Nice thing is that they are on the way to the cottage!
