It will take a little work and some parts, but if you use a Bravo bell housing on the back of the Volvo motor it will couple up. I think you may need to shift motor mounts slightly fore and aft and you would have to run a bravo shift plate and other small changes to get the Volvo 8.1 coupled with the drive. It is do-able.
