Ok here's what I got going on. I'm am in the process of converting my OMC Cobra to a Volvo DP-SM. My question is how much HP can the DO-SM with the 2.32 ratio handle. Also how hard would it be to change it over to the 1.95 ratio. I got a good deal on the outdrive that has never been used. My local mechanic tells me It can handle a 5.7 but I am starting to have my doubts. I did see online where Volvo mates the 2.32 to a 5.7L for high altitudes. Thanks for any information any one can give me on this.
