Need MD7A Exhaust Manifold and Thermostat Housing

Post by Keith »

Hi All,
I just bought a 1980 30 Cutter with a Volvo-Penta MD7A that is missing the exhaust manifold and thermostat housing. Does anyone know where I can find used parts. A new manifold ranges from $1150 to $1800 and can't find a new thermostat because they are discontinued. I would be greatfull for any leads. I'm on Cape Cod.

Thanks Keith

Keith - Check out the other "buy/sell" board on this website. There is a listing for a running MD7a and a non-running engine. Maybe you can get the parts from the non running engine.

Good luck.

I just posted a pile of parts from the engine on ebay. I'll list the starter soon too. Search Volvo MD7
