Default ALPHA 1 strength?

Not sure if this is the right section or not, but I'm wanting to get other peoples opinions on how strong an ALPHA 1(87 not a GEN 2) outdrive is? Now that I've got my 315HP MERCRUISER purrin, I'm wanting to put it in my 25' SEA RAY CC. But I don't know if the original ALPHA 1 will hold up to it or not. It's currently got an ALPHA 1 in it that is coupled up to a 260HP 350 that is locked(improper winterazation). It's a 1.5:1 gear ratio and appears to be in nice shape(probably not original, but the hour meter only shows 340 original hours).

So SKOOLZ what you think, yey or nay?

What year is yours? Have you run it at all with the ALPHA1 to see how well it holds up? My 250 SEA RAY is the same basic model you have. Heres my model from SEARAYS archives.
