If just speaking of drive match, any Volvo 4-cyl (130, 120,125,131,140,145,151...)will match. They all use the same ratio 2.15:1.
That said, you may end up in other problems like engine mounts, exhaust etc.
The 170 as mentioned above use a 1,95:1 ratio.
That is correct!Mixed it with a duo-prop ratio.
Here is the general ratios that may be read out from the drive ID tag:

[FONT=Verdana,Arial]D = 2.15:1 [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana,Arial]all 4-cyl runs D[/FONT]

Hey Jim R. I may be able to make things easy for you. I have a Volvo Penta 130a with a 270 outdrive that I need to get rid of. May be easier to replace the whole unit.
