Can anybody enlighten me on the subject of fitting a 2wd head on a 200 block ?
I've heard there are some things that need to be changed/matched etc.. ??

 

hi Eric...welcome here...

 

Nobody ??

 

200 is a direct replacement for a 205 block

 

OK, thanx, I know what I'm going to look for now

 

yeah think mine went straight on

 

just had my engine rebuilt, new 200 block wich replaced the 205 block had the head overhalled new guids & stuff but the head bolted sraight on nearly done 4k now no engine probs

 

It will fit.

 

Eric - hope you don't mind me borrowing your thread - I'm in a similar situation to you.

I now know my head will fit thanks to the replies so far - my question is whether my 2wd pistons, rods, crank and oil pump will go over into a 200 block?

Burtonpower list 2wd and 4wd pistons, which makes me think there IS a difference. If so, will I need new pistons?

Thanks in advance

Kurt

 

the difference in 2wd and 4x4 pistons is their compression ratio and offset gudgeon pin, but they are completely interchangeable.

 

straight in

 

new oil pump i would get dont no about pistons as i got new ones & had the valve cut outs done rods fit plus get new rings on pistons

 

eny one got a head for sale buying a new 200 block for my 2wd cos need a head.

 

Thanks guys.
