[FONT="]I am starting to get stuff ready for a winter project. I want to make a short shaft Merc 700 (3 cylinder) by using a tower from a 1972 402 and a power head from a 1979 700, so my first question is will this work. The foot on the 402 Is damage so it will have to be replaced, will the 402 driveshaft fit in a 1973 Merc 650 (3 cyl.) lower unit? I Have checked part numbers and they are different. [/FONT]
