Old Outboard

Hi,
I own a 1955 10 Hp Johnson and it is practically in peices. The lower unit has no gears, seals, water pump, copper water tube, propshaft, or driveshaft. But, I found a lower unit of a 1960 10 hp lower unit with everything in working condition. I was just wondering if the 1960 lower unit is compadable with the 1955 midsection. Also could a lower unit from a 1953 Johnson work on the midsection of the 1955 QD 16? I am not familiar with the design changes that came with the progressing years. I appreciate your time.
Thanks a bunch,
Dan
