170 Volvo outdrive, 1974

[mulinixa]

I am looking at a boat 1974, skiffcraff 24' with a 170 h.p Chrysler motor and volvo outdrive. What are the typical problems with this outdrive if any and most importantly are parts available. Everytime I input information for part under 170 volvo outdrive I receive information on the volvo 270 outdrive are these one in the same.

The drive is a 270 and I think parts availability is pretty good, new and used. Not sure about the Chrysler engine. What engine? Slant six? The manifolds could be rare, not as rare as the Volvo 6 though probably...
