Need Alpha 1
 
I blew up my alpha 1 and I am looking for a used replacement. I am looking for a complete or a lower what ever comes first.

If you don't find one here, go to ebay.

Superboat502 06-17-2007 06:02 PM

i dont wanna go new b/c its my spare boat and i dont feel like spending the time and money on a new drive.

phragle 06-17-2007 07:56 PM

well..by he time you get a used lower, put in a new waterpump and maybe a seal or two, you have already exceeded the cost of a new lower from them......

Ebay or SEI is your best bet. BTW What were the circumstances behind grenading the drive? Boat? Power?

CIG3 06-18-2007 03:50 PM

I have one in nice shape. PM me if your interested.

Superboat502 06-18-2007 10:23 PM

yea i'm interested e-mail me with details/ price if you can and location. [email protected] thanks

Superboat502 06-18-2007 10:26 PM

Its a 87 nova 454 around 400 hp. Boats a tank, to much power and weight for an alpha, but the boats not worth the time money or effort to switch to a bravo. Plus i'm trying to get my superboat project in the water and need to focus on that.

resurrected 06-19-2007 06:33 AM

BB gear ratio?

Superboat502 06-19-2007 05:50 PM

not sure its for a v8 application.

eliminatethis 06-20-2007 10:42 AM

I have a good upper and lower off a 82 semitar that had a merc. V8 all I have left of the boat is this drive and the alloy trailer the drive would be 400.00 dollars

HiPerf2000 06-20-2007 10:58 AM

I have a Gen 2 for sale.

Superboat502 06-20-2007 10:03 PM

elim what kind of shape is the drive in and where do you live?

TomFTM 06-21-2007 01:12 PM

superboat502, I have a used alpha 1 with a 1.5 ratio. That is the ratio used on the v8's . I'm on Long Island. Tom

1BIGJIM 06-21-2007 03:05 PM

The one year 1987 they put a 454 behind the Alpha it was a 1:32 ratio.

CIG3 06-21-2007 03:15 PM

THe lower is the same on all alphas. Ratio is in the upper. I still owe you photos of the lower SUPER. I'll get them tonight.

Superboat502 06-21-2007 04:40 PM

Tom how much you looking to get for the drive?

Superboat502 06-21-2007 04:42 PM

And High Perf a gen 2 is no good for me unless you are willing to just sell the lower.

ljsmith1 06-24-2007 10:41 PM

Like someone else said...make sure its a 1.32 ratio.. I have a 454 Mag Alpha in my 87 formula and that's what I have too.

Superboat502 06-26-2007 06:27 PM

SO is it a 1.32 or a 1.5 can anyone give me a definate answer. I'm getting mixed answers and i need to know for shore.

racesdad 06-26-2007 07:00 PM

Superboat502 06-27-2007 10:44 AM
