New to ME. Outdrive or Jet

I just ended up with a 19 foot hull. I haven't found a vin plate so no idea on make or model. The hull and gel coat are in excellent condition along with the interior. Everything is there minus motor and (outdrive / jet)? There is a just a hole in the back, I was told it was setup with an outdrive. What are my options? I have a Chevy 350 laying in my garage, but am curious what I should do about a drive. I am looking for a reliable lake boat. Any advise would be nice even if it might be scaping the thing.

Thanks

If you already have the SBC and the hull is set up for an I/O, just find an Alpha drive and call it good.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for. What is the going price on an Alpha drive?

I say get rid of it and buy a V-drive!
