many people leave off the H ( Heron) part and call some of them B230K when the B230KH is has completely different pistons and cylinder
head to a B230K

Yes, the KH... With the Heron head making near to hemispherical combustion chambers. A rather successful construction and a sort after head here in Germany.
What is missing in the list:
B234G | 2316 ccm | Bosch LH Jetronic | 114 KW @ 95 rps (117 KW with M46 @ 97 rps) | 155 ps @ 5700 rpm (159 ps @ 5800 rpm) | 203 nm @ 75 rps (210 nm @ 74 rps)
B200ET | 1986 ccm | Motronic | 118 KW @ 92 rps | 160 ps @ 5500 rpm | 245 nm @ 58 rps
B230GT | 2316 ccm | Bosch LH Jetronic | 125 KW @ 80 rps | 170 ps @ 4800 rpm | 265 nm @ 57 rps
B230FD | 2316 ccm | Bosch LH Jetronic | 85 KW @ 91 rps | 116 ps @ 5400 rpm | 182 nm @ 43 rps
B230FB | 2316 ccm | Bosch LH Jetronic | 96 KW @ 92 rps | 130 (131) ps @ 5500 rpm | 185 nm @ 40 rps
We aren't allowed to forget two prototypes done by Volvo for the 780 series:
B250FT - a B230FT with a Penta crank making it to a 2.5l. This was supposed to have had something like 220 ps and 300 nm back in it's day.
B280FT2 - a B280F with twin turbos. It was dumped as Volvo couldn't get the V6 running smooth enough for their customers and it was like a bag of poop.
Another engine I have been told by Volvo engineers here in Germany which was supposed to be developed:
B6304T - sounds like nothing special. A 3.0l I6, but with a turbo. Before the T6 was developed, Volvo worked together with "Hausser" (a German Volvo tuning company of the 80ies and early 90ies) to get the 3.0T running. It had too much torque for ALL boxes they used then (the M46 couldn't handle it, nor could the AW30-43LE) and they had issues getting the turbo fitted in the right position. The manifolds (exhaust) were altered and changed to one, the turbocharger was placed above the battery (as there is more space there than next to the engine).
This created more and more problems so Volvo and Hausser both dropped developement. Especially since the 3.0l was capable of more power (the Swedish company "Haas" with it's owner Günter Haas, made a limited edition 964 called the "GS964" with a modified B6304S/F (new cams, new exhaust, new manifolds) and this is supposed to produce 280 hp. A friend owns one of the 5 cars built. Everything is custom!).
