This motor was used by Volvo, Mercruiser, and OMC. The differences (as far as I can tell) was that OMC painted their motors blue (what you have), Mercruiser was black, and I don't know about Volvo Marine. The 120 HP and 140 HP motors uses the same GM 3.0 block, just ported differently with the manifolds for the different displacements. They are an indestructible motor to a point. My boat originally had the OMC 140, but the previous owners didn't drain/blow the water out. So after many years of freeze and thaw, not only did the manifold crack, but the cast iron block did in a number of places as well. As long as the block is still good, they can be bored out for more horse power.
