My alpha1 bellhousing has so many bolt holes I'm thinking it must fit a
whole variety of engine blocks. Does anyone know if the early mercs
that way too?

I'm looking at the possibility of buying a Sea Ray 21 footer. with 350
chevy. and "888" outdrive.

OK, I'm familiar with the Alpha 1 with is so popular, but I don't know
about the 888

can some one tell me the difference[s] between the two? and can the
parts interchange?

Thanks!

The 888 should be a Ford 302 engine, a common installation in that
vintage SeaRay.

Check up on what/when mods/changes were done to get a 350 & 888.
