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) |

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 |
