Basically a low compression version of the B18B. Could have an A or B cam whereas the B18B could have a B or C cam with the higher C.R. After about 1963(?) engines would be B18B. Could never see Volvo's logic of calling the engine a D version and then changing to B for the later more powerful versions.
Numbers for B cam are between the A and the C. B not relevant now days but better than the A when used with twin carbs. A bit of a boost fro the USA market who never got single carb B18 engines. |

Were these lower comp engines maybe aimed at parts of the world where fuel quality and octane rating were lower, such as Africa? I had series 2a Land Rover (1961) that was low on power which was explained when I checked the engine number and found it was a (relatively rare) low comp version for some foreign markets.
