Anybody know what Volvo this is?

[littlejohn2458]

Hey guys I got this boat and I am not sure what type of Volvo this is. Its the I4. I think its an 83 motor. I got this boat for free, but the only thing is, is the engine is froze. I am a mechanic but i work on outboards and all the tags where the model for the engine is faded or i can't seem to find it. Can anyone help me this is the best shot i could get I was in a hurry.
here are some pics of the boat and some of the motor also.
Thanks a ton,
John

Ayuh,... You must be editing in the pictures,...
If it's an overhead cam, it's a Volvo "B" motor...
If it's Not an overhead cam, it's a Chevy 3.0l....

IF, and that is a big if, it is the original engine, I would have to believe it to be the AQ145A engine. Having duel carbs eliminates it being a 125 and the next engine to come out with dual carbs was the AQ 131 in 1985.

Here is a link to the oem service manual. You can compare some of the pictures a little closer.

For your pictures, they are huge. About 5 MB on your engine picture. If you have a photo editing program on your computer, go to the help section and find out how to resize your pictures. I haven't seen any program without it in many years. You need to get them down to 640 pixals max width for the forums. Your engine picture was 3648 pixals wide

Re: Anybody know what Volvo this is?
