Greetings!
I've got a direct drive 1965 A4 and I'd like to drop it into a Cal 34' that was set up for V-drive. The A4 that came out of the Cal 34 was a newer model A4 (has the thermostat housing and no tombstone transmission cover...exact year uncertain but can find out if necessary) that was set up for V-drive so I have the V-drive unit an everything on hand. The problem is that the tail shaft of the 1965 A4 isn't set up for V-drive, so I'm hoping to pirate that part from the newer model A4. Does anyone know if this is possible? Are the tail shafts compatible between new/old model A4's?
Thanks for any guidance you can offer! I'd love to avoid rebuilding the newer model A4 at the moment so if this part exchange is possible it'll get me out on the water much sooner as the 1965 A4 is in surprisingly great shape.
Thanks,
Glenn
