Volvo blocks and cranks are made of GOOD STUFF! Bearing that in mind, be sure and MEASURE the cylinders and the crank.
It may well be that standard rings and bearings will put you in very good shape.
And in fact, if the crank mikes good you should plastigage the bearings.
I have a whole box full of bearings that are "as good as new" by measurement that I have taken out of engines.
Some cranks do need to be ground and fitted with UNDERSIZE bearings, but in my experience it is fairly rare.
Much more common on B16s and later engines that have suffered lube failure.
