Better than 205

Not as good as 200

Thicker walled like the 200 block but the cylinder wall thickness doesn't get thicker like on the 200 block.

Can't be long studded.

On the plus side doesn't have that big core plug at the rear of the 200 blocks.

On the advise of my engine builder I used one in my 380bhp saph and would happily do so again.
