Re: Overheating after new impeller.
I don't know if this applies to Volvos as well, but I recall a poster on the Bayliner board, who put a Sierra impeller in an OMC housing, and the sizes were a bit off and it burned up the impeller. The Sierra one worked in the Sierra housing, and the OE OMC one worked in its housing but not the aftermarket in the OE. Maybe the same deal here.
