    You should see this blog http://www.familjenlundell.se/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=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.
