Will be goong thru the whole boat.wiil be cutting and replacing floor,stringers,hull will be painted,dash is going out,seats will be different style,it is a lot of work .it would not shift out of gear,drop the drive yesterday i hope i can find parts for this drive.will be taking the transmission out today.the 454 will be build to 496 stroker.will try to make it go 80mph.

Is it a Sternpower drive? If it's a mechanical in the drive shifter they are a pain & parts may not be available, I had two Klem boats with them. The Sternpower drives that use a transmission are bullet proof .

it is a sternpower with borg warner transmission(not sure of model) lever on trans moves back and forth but it stays in gear.I think it's a sternpower 84sp,has a cleaver style prop beat up looks 15x21,What speed you think i should be getting

Hi h2oboater do you know where i can look for stenpower drive parts the prop shaft seal was leaking i just pulled it out and it has no part # on the seal.

Seals & bearings are common industry stuff like you could find at Mc Master Carr. For hard parts try here.
