I am in the middle of collectig parts to swp my tyred 205 block to a 200 item.
I understand i will be able to use the crank from my 2wd block
Is everything else transferable or do i need a 4x4 water pump etc
The 200 block i have is bare ( waiting for my pistons to arrive)

Would it make any difference if i use a 4x4 head ???

Any help would be great

Thanks

 

dont need water pump or thermostat housing they,ll swop. as
long as u got complete 2wd engine and acc u'll be ok, think the
crank ok 2, 4x4 head is better

 

Yes i have started with a complete 2WD engine.

Does this mean all the little bits and bobs will transfer straight over

Do i have to use 4x4 water pump & thermostat housing if using 4x4 head?

 

Nah u don't, but supposedly the 4x4 stat housing and pump is more efficient but dont quote me on that.

 

make sure the 200 block comes with its own crank main bearing caps,as these are matched to there own block by machining and there position is numbered

 

yep what they all said!
swaped my 205 bits into a 200 block and all fits straight in mate!

 

Yes my block came with the end caps !!

So if i want 4x4 water pump and thermostat housing i wont need 4x4 radiator or anything like that !!

Thanks for all help !!

 

think u ok with rad m8 but some hoses are different

 

Should be interesting when ordering my samcos

 

well if u use 2wd water pump and thermostat u ok, but 4x4 are different
hoses, and theres 1 between pump and housing which samco dont do

 

Thanks mate i will keep this in mind
!!
