Yes, Merc built Ford powered I/O's 302 and 351. Bellhousings are around and the couplers are available aftermarket. Some of the I/O's were called "Searay"

You are right,... Merc. used the Fords in the Old Pre-Alpha or Mod.1 Drives..........
Trouble Is;.......
The motor mounts are 15"s apart...... Bravo requires the same 9"s the Alpha uses...........
Merc. has Never put a Ford in a current issue drive...........

Have Heard Of Using The Late 80 Style Omc Cobra Inner Transom Mount On A Bravo (same Bolt Pattern W/minimul Tooling) , To Mount 460 Fords To A Bravo , So Could Use The Same Since Omc Used A Lot Of 351 Fords. Ng
