Anyone have an opinion on swapping out the engine for another make? I do not want issues. Is there a direct replacement for this engine (3QM30H) made by Volvo, others?

I would have thought swapping a Yanmar for another Yanmar would be easier than to another make. Perhaps in your area, Volvo service & parts are easily available?

Try to replase with a simular. I have seen changing brand tried with lots og trouble. Never heard of brands making models that shoud fit in insted of another brands model.

Having been through an engine swap the only swap that is effortless is like for like that means if your engine is a relic as mine was even another Yanmar comes with major work. If you have to go from one series of Yanmar to another ie YS? GM? to YM there is going to be major work. So if you can find a Volvo that lines up right it won't be a bigger deal.

Of course a good rebuilt of the same engine you have if you weren't unhappy with its output isn't a big issue and can make sense.
