I have a 1972 Starcraft with a 140 mercruiser and a pre alpha outdrive. Can i use a volvo penta outdrive on a mercruiser engine.||| After reading the answers so far, I can understand your confusion. In your exact case, my answer is don't. There are just to many problems, from the differences in the engines, and transom shield, to electrical. tilt and trim etc. Just to much. I love Volvo but I've also worked on OMC and Mercruser. It's easier to repair that you have. Good luck!|||Yes you can but you will need the Volvo Penta SX Outdrive as it has the same basic transom cut out as the Mercruiser. Since both use the chevy 151 cubic inch 4 cylinder the base engines are totally interchangeable
It would be far cheaper to replace your old unit with one that is a direct bolt on.|||Sounds like you need the following:

Bravo engines have an engine mounted raw water pump. Or you could get the new style Volvo pump and bracket that is already designed for use on a motor with serpentine belt.
Linkage for the carb will probably take an adapter kit for the cable end to hook to the linkage, but the controls go the right direction.
Re: Mercruiser in a Volvo Penta?
Front mounts are the same, bellhousing is way different, but your old one will work, along with the coupler if they are of different lengths. Exhaust is different and may not line up with your Y pipe.

It should first be noted that MerCruiser has a larger and more comprehensive engine lineup (the smallest featuring 3.0 litres and 135 horsepower, the largest featuring 8.2 litres and either 380 or 430 horsepower with a range of other sizes in between). But does a larger range make MerCruiser the better choice? more
If you are looking at a new-stern drive for your boat, chances are it will end up being either a MerCruiser or a Volvo Penta engine. These manufacturers are the cream of the crop when it comes to engines and drive for most runabouts, small to mid-sized cruisers and speedboats. If you are unsure which manufacturer to choose for your own vessel, you have come to the right place for an inclusive comparison of MerCruiser and Volvo. more
