Your gonna have to look it over as the upper should have the gear ratio stamped on it somewhere I believe(spare will know better than me on this one though). They make a good quality product for a fraction of the OEM units. Only complaints I have heard of have been a few with gear noise due to improper break in, and some paint issues(the paint problem was only on the early ones).

The sterndrive engineering outdrives are as good as the OEM, so your good to a 300HP small block with it. HP isn't the killer of them though, torque is. I seriously doubt that a 3.7L can make enough torque to hurt one.
