Cooked the engine in my boat (1985) so after some research found the later model Volvo car engine (1994) to be the same, EXCEPT the later engine is loaded with fuel injection and emission stuff.
Brought an old Volvo and salvaged the engine so;
!/ The later engine has the bolt holes but not the lever hole for the fuel pump. Do i just "break out" the centre?
2/ The later engine has heat riser(?) tubes that fit under the exhaust manifold which need blocking off. Welsh plugs of .8"
may block these off while still looking factory?
3/ The silent shaft needs replacing to the marine type to gain the drive for the raw water pump - can this be done without
removing the sump OR is there a "bolt on" adapter available?
Also can the old engine be removed without pulling the 280 stern drive to bits?
Thank you for any advice and tips in advance,
Oh and thanks for letting me join the forum.
