1992 Volvo Drive / Max H.p.??
I know this question has been asked before but here is my situation....my other option to re-powering is to just add some H.P. to the Volvo big block that I have now. It is 1992 Volvo 454 with 330 H.P. and a duo-prop drive...What is the max H.P. that I should add to this motor without causing damage to the drive? I have called every where and no one seems to have any idea...

My buddy have this motor (808hp) connected to a 290 dpx. No problems for three years. Another friend raced his 28' with 700hp BBC and 290 dpx for one year with no problems, so I guess it's a pretty solid drive.
