has the engine designation (Google Volvo VIN decoding). My engine type isnetworker said:
also part of the engine number stamped on the block. You could also do it
from model and year, try:

All this assumes you have the original engine in the car.

I have two Volvo-engines. A b19a from a 1980 244DL, and a b230a from a 1980
240GL.
The b19a was only mensioned as a 3-series engine, and the b230a wasn't
mensioned at all.
Both the engines were in swedish cars.

Maybe not as far as USA is concerned Lars. Bill is an American gentleman with an
American website.
Cheers, Peter.

I'm aware of this, but then he could simply remove all of his 300-series
data, as none of these cars were regularly sold in the US, and almost
all of the data there is just wrong.
Only few 300-series Volvos weresold with the B19 engine. Most had Renault engines (B14, B17), some
around 1980 hat the B19, and starting around 1982 the "power" version
came with the B200. The last 340s were sold in the early 1990s with the
B14 engine.

I think it's pretty inaccurate in general. But it's a nice start... sorta.
