sorry for the OT, but didnt know where to put this.

Just interesting to hear about the Volvo B-series motors. Has anyone read about this before? I read about this a few years ago, but just thought came across it again recently Its interesting since the displacements are similar to the Honda B-series but just different stroke and bore sizes. I believe all 80mm stroke but just different bore sizes.

oh BTW, these motors came out in the 50s to 60s i believe.

 

They're the upright motor series. The B naming series comes from B = Benzin (Gasoline) and D= Diesel

Newer slanted ones are B200, B230, etc etc.

I have a B6304F Which is a inline 6 cyl :-)

Oh and the engines are newer than 60's, some were used in alot of the volvo series cars.

 

I got the B230 in my 87.

 

They will take all the abuse you throw at them and beg for more.

My wife's 2001 Saab has their B205L engine.

Saab had an H-series until about 1980 or so.

 

I made a thread about this months ago and got a bunch of lame responses.
