Not worth much until some one needs a used part. I have been a great fan of your re-power project.
I like the terms running take out's or re-buildable cores. Or even parting out. Dead is dead, nothing of use with a hole in it and full of salt...
Dead 8V71? thought they were running?
During the 80s, In Savannah GA, I restored old Vega 20s. Volvo 100b drives. Kind of the model 1. That case alloy seemed to be in good shape also....
I always felt that Volvo drives did better in salt water. In the 70s, had 270 drive. Except for that dam reverse latch, is was a bomb proof drive....

Turbo engines have just a bit less compression at idle. Still, I see no problems with those numbers. Except maybe a wet cylinder from a dribbling...

If the bottom of the rod bearings look good, And the top of the main bearings look good, the red-neck (cost reduced) plan would be put new...
Head must have really been eaten up past the vale seats. Yep, It's gonna hurt the wallet but you will be far ahead on a new head. It's great to...
I think Skippy J meant fiberglass formed 45 and 90 elbows. Male fitted to female hose. Usually perfect over 1 1/2" + hose. I have mentioned glass...
