Who knows their Volvo motors? 5.7 questions.
Just picked up another boat. It has a 1996 5.7 Gi in it. 250 hp with TBI. Does anyone know the internals of this engine? Forged or cast crank, pistons, etc? I see that same year they also made a GSi with 280 hp that had higher compression ratio. And the new GXi is 320 hp with MPI. Are these the same "base" motors or totally different bottom ends?
Thanks
