    98 Volvo Penta 3.0L Holley 2300 Carb

    so I have a 3.0 L MWTR motor that I re-powered three years ago with a new motor, and I am having trouble getting the carburetor set correctly. The unit originally calls for a .68 and .67 fixed jet on the 2300, but it is only for the year 1998. The other years around it use a .72 fixed jet...

    Engine Block Question on a 3.0L Volvo Penta

    I have a cracked block in a 98 3.0L Volvo Penta motor. I was tearing down the motor, and the head is stamped GM. I am thinking that this block can be replaced with a GM 3.0L automotive block. Am I correct in thinking the block is a standard car block? Thanks again.
