A fellow member here on iboats told me that the outdrives for v6 and v8 omc cobras are the same. I was just hoping I could get a couple more people to chime in before going out to spend the money on one! Any input would be great. Thanks

the lower halves are the same, there may be a slight difference in the shifter assy but i think they are the same

the uppers have different gear ratios

be aware of the gear ratio you need for your engine/drive setup

I have a v-8. I believe I just need the lower half, so I should be able to buy a v6 or v8.

hmm, the lower from a 2.3 won't work so be careful of what you buy.
