You should see this blog http://www.familjenlundell.se/index....d=0&Itemid=56/

Perhaps with google translation tool.

The author tried to convert a volvo car engine D5 to a boat (to get the equivalent of a marine volvo D3-190).
It took several years, and eventually seized one engine.

Fcfc, I've seen the blog, but in Swedish. I understand Dutch plus 4 other languages, but this is all mumbo-jumbo to me. Google gave me a nice translation about the childhood of the Lundell family, then got the hiccups.
An interesting experience.
