First post here. Long story short a someone decided to unscrew the oil filter on my 94' Mercruiser 3.0 and the engine cooked. I'm looking for a replacement engine and found an 88' 3.0, complete, that has 10 hours on a fresh rebuild. This engine was hooked up to an Alpha 1 gen I out drive. Will this engine be compatible with my 94' alpha 1 gen II out drive?
 
As long as the transom assembly is not changed all will be fine.

If the engine is all you are replacing.
 
Great news. Thanks. Transom and outdrive are in good shape. Do you know what components I'll have to switch over? Read here and it looks like the flywheel and engine coupler will have to be swapped.
 
Yes all of the above.. Swap everything you can. The newer motor most likely has a electronic ignition.
The gen II drive shaft that goes into the coupler may require the same coupler. I forget when the change occurred.
