I've got my hands on what I believe to be the aq165 manifold for the B30. Stamped on it 1-821006 and in a different area the letter P. I assume for Penta. It's aluminium. Triple sidedraught. So far I haven't even held it up to the motor to see if it fits. Can anyone confirm this part number is correct?

I'm wondering what exhaust manifold I can use? I know there are a few headers/extractors out there that would probably/possibly work but I think I'd be just as happy with the injection manifolds if they fit.

Anyone out there able to shed some light on this setup, what my options might be? I suppose I may need to look into some type of carb linkage as well which shouldn't be overly tricky and maybe different needles?

Let me know before I re-invent the wheel.

Cheers,
Josh

If you are going to the trouble of triples, you really should get some headers built. The injection headers are a big restriction once you get to 4000+ rpm & there's not enough meat around the outlets to port them out to a bigger engine pipe size.

Here is a link to the Penta store parts page that shows it:
http://www.volvopentastore.com/INDUCTION_AND_EXHAUST_MANIFOLD_AQ170B/dm/category_id.332342--view_id.317518
The part numbers that apply to it are 831212 or 831051.
I would really like to see a pic of the one you have also.

If you've got one of these I'll make you a good deal on it.....
(I've been looking for one for about a dozen years.)

can you post some pics of the manifold. i have several tripple down draft setups.
