Unfortunately Volvo did not come to New Zealand until the 244 was launched, all the B20 FI heads are either in private import classics or written off long ago (we have a 6-monthly Warrent of Fitness inspection similar to the UK MOT). Only options so far is importing from Australia where the 144 was available new and still is very popular on those long streight desert roads, or import a reconditioned FI head from Europe at about the same price as getting mine modified in NZ, or if my head is still in good condition, which it should be after only 75k mi (genuine, my father bought it new in South Africa), then we can just modify it at work for free (very capable mechanical workshop!).

As far as I know there is a K-Jet B30 in my factory workshop manual, maybe it was not available in the US. I've also seen k-jet parts listed for the B30 in a European price list (company dealing specifically with Volvo classics).
