I am guessing that because you are posting in the Escort forum, this might be purchased for one of these cars? If so, unless it has been fitted with a 200 block, it won't be suitable. The 4x4 cars require the extra rigidity achieved with the 200 block, so to fit a 205 blocked engine in one of these cars is likely to result in the block cracking under the twisting stresses that the 4x4 transmission will put on the engine.
