Default When was the 200 block introduced ?

Just taken the head off my 3dr to have a bit of a general look see and replace a few gaskets etc, only to find stamped on the side of the block that it's a 200 Block ?
Considering this car is supposed to be totally original, owned by Ford them selves for its first 4 years then stored for 18 of the past 19 years am I correct in thinking someone has changed the block ( the head is def 3dr ) ??
I thought the 4wd 200 block came out with the Escoss and then maybe the 4wd Sapphires.
Can any one help me to sort this out please?
I know its a better block to have, tougher, heavier etc but it should not be on this car
Cheers
