Hi david
yes-- very much the same problem--. I also have a 1990 Volvo with a broken B230K engine besides the 1988 with the B230F and the 1992 estate with the B200f which I am using. So i can easily compare.
the manifolds fit inlet and exhaust side. the hydraulic pump and the generator have to be changed with the brackets. as said earlier, the original fuelpump on the b230K engine has to be removed. Over and all it should make some difference.
Another thing to consider is, that the backaxle ratio is different between the two cars. The b230K engine used to do 2400rpm at the speed of 60 miles, whereas the B200 does 2700 rpm. leaving it the original ratio can be an advatage, as the pullingpower is greater, but on the other side the petrol consumption could be higher. from the dirrect comparison, the B230K was much livelier even it had only 116Hp. We took the cat of the B230F engine and this made another 10 % difference. So-- anyway, stay in touch. i won't go near it for a while, as the B200F engine is still in good neck.
greetings from Ireland.
Hans
