Hello all,
I have a volvo - penta engine swap question. I currently have a 226e which I believe is a 5.7L in a 86 19' sun chaser. I would like to know if I can replace the current engine with a automotive style Chevy 5.7 liter with a marine cam. I am new to the inboard motor but like the ease of the ability to repair most issues myself. But I do not know how the outdrive connection is made nor if the will be water pump issues. And the water cooled exhaust manifolds for the marine engine will mount with any modifications. The current engine is car berated and therfore not an issue. Mostly concerned about the outdrive connection and water pump and exhaust manifolds.
Thanx in advance for any help!
