My guess is that you can use the same driveline, but you need a power take-off flange for the chevy flywheel.

Definately the same driveline and definately needs a BBC PTO. The rear mounts, if using the same brand, go in the stringers in the same spot. The front mounts, if using the same brand of mount, are a 1/2" further towards the transom on the BBC than the 455 Olds. I made a 1/2" spacer, used the same stringer mounts in the same Olds location, and it worked perfectly.

Rex marine has them for around fifty bucks. Just make sure you get the right one for your drive line. I believe there are just two for pto's for chevy, one larger than the other. The smaller is more common.

Some of the older boats had drivelines with the pto adapter built into it, in other words one side will have the splines for the jet pump and the other will have a round flange rather than it being two pieces. You will need a whole new driveline if you have the older style if not then its just a PTO that you can get from Rex or myself, most stores are priced about the same on those.
