Catalitic converter (cat) on B20 engines? 140-160

Hi, my excuses on advance for my spanglish.

I have a 121 with a B18 engine. I know the B18 don't have catalitic converter, but I understand that some 140 models with B20 engines have it. Due the B20 usually is a B18 overbored, please, do you know the type and model of catalitic converted used on B20s?. Also, if have some info about the location of the converter in the exhaust, i will like if you can provide me with it.

Truly yours,

No cats on b20 powered production cars.

There is a Swedish PV club that put one on a members car as an experiment. It was featured on a ('the'?) Swedish PV site, and member newsletter.

There is a complete Volvo parts catalogue for online viewing (and download if you think a little about it) at www.gcp.se who is a company that take over Volvo classic parts. Browsing through the catalogue will show you where it is mounted, which models had it, and what hardware is required for mounting it. I've found that at certain times of the day the site is down, perhaps for backup, maintenance, price update, etc. Parts from them are expensive, but is either OEM from original molds/tools or exact replicas off OEM drawings.

¡Si la molestia no te moleste, no molesta a la molestia!

My 73 didn't have a cat!
(In fact it came closer to having kittens.)

No exactamente una molestia, but the next year my country would be enforce a bit more the pollution laws, and due right now I pass barely the smog test here, I am seeking for alternatives.

Just now I'm evaluating about use a catalitic converter or put a gasoline/propane (we don't have butane here) conversion dual fuel kit (I read on the web: some guys has made this on Holland). I hope to made the changes on December.

Gusto de leerte,
