Nope ! - A "correct" MKII RS2000 uses a 20 designated block

Cosworth are designated 205 or 200

Yep ! But carbs choice is ruled by the spec of engine being built

I run an 8v Pinto based on a 200 block running 94mm Accralite pistons

94mm is maximum size Pinto piston I found available

25mm overbore must be a typo !
