I am looking for a diagram that has the dimensions for the stringers or supports for the Volvo aq 151 s4 and the aq 225 v8. Trying to put my 151 in a hole built for a aq 225.

Thanks

so this is a 4 cyl motor that you are putting in a boat that originally had a v-8?

Little trial and error and I figured out what the difference is between the stringers on a v8 and l4 aq volvo penta.

The Motor mounts are the same distance from the transom.
The mounts for the V8 are 2 inches higher than the l4
the mounts for the v8 are out 3 inches wider on each side for the v8.

Ended up being an easy fix the swap the motors.
