Default Donzi classic volvo outdrive - shortie/holman

Can anyone help me ID these two drives? I got them with my Sweet 16 project and I am looking to sell them off, but I have no idea what to call them or if there even worth the time to post. Any help will be appreciated.

Those would be very desirable to the right person. Post that on www.Donzi.org or .net.

Thanks - I did post them already in the classifieds section. Do you have any idea what they are? I have never seen such a small Volvo unit.

Hm. The upper looks like a 280, it's "smoother" than the 170 and 270 ect. so to speak. I can't place the lower. Only lowers I remember with any type of nosecone was the 170R, 270E and 280E, but the skeg on those drives looked rather different.

From what I found a while back - was that it was specialized to have a "Quick Change Gearset" There are 2 bolts that hold the outer bearing carrier in. Once removed it pulls right now and the gears are exposed and super easy to change. The upper looks beefier than the moody next to it. Think this could be a big block drive? High horsepower racing drive? Any idea what it would be worth? I'd love to trade it for a Bravo 1 complete...LOL that would make my project a heck of a lot easier going...

Nothing special. The top one is a 280 with a nose cone.
The bottom is something like 270 that came with a H/M engine package.

Thanks for the info - think they have any value to anyone? I'd love to move them to make room for my bravo 1. Or better yet trade them for a Bravo 1..
