B230 in Amazon
 
Hi ever one
I have a Amazon estate that I am trying to get a penta 2.5 16 valve in it is on carbs
it is a B230 block gearbox is 5 speed M47
I want to fit this on the slant as it was fitted in the 940
the problem is to get it to fit I am having to cut the sump or cross member up
can get it to fit with no sump on easley

I have seen pictures of this but can find no information

Help

Thanks

Fit. B20 oil pump and sump your good to go with customer engine mounts maybe ....

Hi

Thanks yes I know all about that you can get engine mounts
From IPD the gearbox is a problem
problem with going down that root is then every thing is custom
if i go the slant root every thing will fit from volvo parts bin
and a easy fit of a 5 speed box

Hi sorry but i might sell you my 245 HPT turbo its also a B230 block

Is your Amazon a late one?
And rhd?
if rhd you will be the first who is able to fit a b230 slant plus turbo.
The carbs from penta marine engines are scrab for cars, you will never get it running in a proper way.
There is a way to get a 5 speed behind the upright.
google or duckduckgo more. A lot of other people did this already.
good luck, Kay (would like to have a 2.5 16V Penta too, they are really expensive here)

and you can post them if you want

As far as I remember the B230 sump fits without any issues.

You will need to convert to a 240 distributor or go wasted spark as there is not the room for the head mounted 940 type dizzy
