1970 Johnson 40hp Model 40EL70A w/split gear case.

Are the upper and lower half's of this split gear case a matched set? Can other gear case half's be mated together?

Yes they are matched.....some people used unmatched halfs but I wont. You run the chance of wearing bushing and leakage.
It OK if a restore project as mainly for looks.
