Different motor though

Re: Volvo I/O aq130c and 270 drive.
I think the motor is porked. There is a little water in the oil. The outdrive is pretty tight and gear oil is clean. Gonna get a new head gasket and a manual and see if we can get this thing to go!!!

Re: Volvo I/O aq130c and 270 drive.
The 270 is a bad a$$ drive, just check the bellows. Never had an issue with my Volvo drive. You can also swap a lower unit off a duo prop right on to the drive. I think you can also change the bellhousing and go to a GM small block engine with a little work.

Re: Volvo I/O aq130c and 270 drive.
The 270 Volvo is a tough drive and yes you can change the bellhousing and go with Ford are GM blocks another good thing about Volvo the sea water pump is on the front of the motor easy to change on the water the 130’s did have a history of heads cracking good luck getting her up and running

Re: Volvo I/O aq130c and 270 drive.
Thanks Guys - I've never played with one of these i/o's before . . . I kind of like them. The guy claims to have gotten 4.5mpg with this setup. The space is limited (narrow) Franco or v20twin any ideas how wide the small block is?

Re: Volvo I/O aq130c and 270 drive.
The width of a small block GM is about 28"----on another note if you are going to change the oil in that drive it takes 40W motor oil
