Hey guys i have a volvo 280 with power trim "elephant ears", i seized the upper gearcase on sunday. I've found a used 280($999) and a used 290($700) the 290 is cheaper aand closer (i can pick it up) the 280 is in mississipi (i'm in Canada) i've read the 290 wont mount up but the parts are interchangeable but then i'll have to shim and install these parts, so would just bolting up the 280 be cheaper in the long run?
Thanks
Andre
