If getting a 205 block from a transit, is it a straight forward job of bolting all the existing bits from my cosworth 205 block in?
Is there anything i should know when doing this??

 

Yea, that the block might not be able to take the power your gonna put into it!!

I was gonna go down this route when i melted mine but........i was advised not to by a few peeps on here. The cast is techinically the same but they used the blocks for different applications for a reasons, and were marked accordingly to be used for transits, grannys, cossies etc.

Prob find it would last but u gotta ask urself if its worth the risk

 

um................ wouldnt bother if i was you,you can find cossie 205 blocks for 50 quid so why fuck about?look in motorsport news and fast?performance ford,ALWAYS a block in one of these every month!

 

ive got a 205 50 quid collected std bore

 

I got a whole tranny engine off a mate for £30.00 !!
Now i maybe thinking of going 200 block
I want the car as reliable as i can get ( remembering its a cosworth !! )

 

cossie blocks came from the transit production line and were selected on bore grade (size) the best ones were put aside for cossies....if you are having it rebored i cant see it making any difference

Thinking about it maybe a 200 block be best
