[QUOTE=142 Guy;2884617]I don't know about the Amazon; but, the later 140 did have the plastic airbox on the twin carb B20. The first year of the 140 was equipped with the B18 and the twin carb version of that engine had individual air filters as opposed to a common airbox.

I'm assuming Volvo thought it was "better" as manufacturers don't tend to make changes to their products for the worse, at least not intentionally!

Probably cheaper to produce and quieter which was seen as better more refined, Amazon Cars say the rear carb runs as much as 10 degree hotter with open filters which makes setting them up harder

Thanks

He might have it after he has converted rally cars to his alloy box. I think the inner box does need a small amount of work to fit to the B18 carbs.
