I have an opertunity to buy a 30 ft. Carver cruiser equiped with a volvo Penta
I/O in . the stock 302 is kind of ratty and uses oil , I'd like to swap it out
..
I also own a wrecked 89 Lincoln Mrk VII that is totaled but has a great and
hard running 5.0 HO.

I was wondering if the Volvo system would share the same block minus manifolds
etc. and/or if the block is compatable, I was wondering if it would be a good
swap to try to use the HO's computererized ignition and fuel injection, by
swapping the harness and computer out of the car and into the boat.

OK, another question. because of the crappy fuel prices and about any power
boat is a guzzler, I was wondering about the possability, of getting rid of the
gas engine totally and going with a Perkins or Cummins diesel.

Any comments are appreciated.
THANKS!
Tim
