Two years ago, on 6 week a trip to the USA, we picked up "Sven". A 20 year old veteran, with 124K miles.
Sven runs a 2.9 litre, inline 6, mated to an AW 40 4-speed transmission. He generates 181hp (135Kw) max. He's not quick by todays standards, but he cruises well.
Here's some stats:
Engine: Volvo B 6304 S
Output: 181 hp at 5200 rpm (135 kW at 73 rps)
Max Torque (SAE J 1349): 199 ft. lbs. (274 Nm) at 4100 rpm.

Bore: 3.27" (83 mm
Stroke: 3.54" (90 mm)

We keep him garaged with family in the USA, ready for our next visit to California
