The Volvo website says that their DPS and XDP drives are designed to mate to high power diesels up to 225hp and their larger DPH & DPR drive mates to diesels in the 225-350 hp ranges.

For a Mercruiser you would need either the Bravo 2 or 3 models to take the higher torque of the larger diesels, the Alpha should be able to handle the lower hp models.
