Front engine mount assembly

[ss9940]

Hi everyone!<br /><br />I'm quite new on this forum, and I already have a problem I originate from Europe and recently bought a caravelle 1750 SE bowrider in America. The boat had a broken motor that was disassembled, so i bought a new one (big block). All the parts were put into the engine compartment, including the front engine mount. Now, the problem is I don't know how to re-assemble the mount. It has been disassembled down to the last nut. Plus, I don't know if a part is missing. Can anyone help me? With an image how this thing is assembled? The engine is a 3.0 Volvo penta (i bought a new 181 cid GM).<br /><br />Thanx in advance,<br /><br />Alex

Re: Front engine mount assembly

You didn't mention the year, but here is the one for a 95 Volvo 3.0L. They change a little on the newer ones, but this should be close.<br />I also assume you installed a "Long Block", not a Big block which is a 7.4L Chevy engine <br />It's at:<br />http://dougrussell.com/partscatalog/volvo_omc/index.cfm?fuseaction=comp&group=3082&GroupList=3088,3076,3077,3074,3075,3078,3082,3079,3114,3116,3087,3115,3090,3111,3112,3113,3081,30 80<br /> <br />

Thanx!<br /><br />Yeah, i meant the "long" not, the "big" block, sorry. The old engine was y. 1994, and the new one is 2004.<br /><br />Alex

Don,is Volvo using a carbon copy of Mercruiser for a front mount?I never really had to give the Volvo mount much attention.<br /><br /><br />DHP

Mercruiser......<br />Volvo........<br />OMC.........<br /><br />I've never had more than 1 at a time in my hand,<br />But,<br />All 3 Look Exactly the Same to Me..............

Re: Front engine mount assembly

I'm like Bondo, never really compared them side by side. But there are differences. Merc is Black, Volvo is Very dark gray, and OMC is a lighter gray...... but other than that, I would guess they could be interchangable. The bolt holes on the front of the engine are Chevy.
