there is a thread in the technical area about this maybe Karl,stu,reyland etc can actually tell me/us what is the actual differences between the 2 ?is the 200 block really as strong compared to a 205 as people say? always seem to get 10 million different answers !

 

I think it was in last months Fast Ford

 

Its a bit late to worry about it now Doug

You should of sorted out a different block before spending all that money on your coopers HG.

A 205 block is good enough for your/our spec

Steve.

 

not for me!just ment in general

 

When i rebuilt my engine I used the original 205 block, with wire ringing added, bored out 1mm, a few years down the line now, it is still spot on

 

buttt

 

you have asked this question about 10 times, and got the same answer each time

 

i think another reason is the amount of material around the front and back because you can 10 stud a 200 block but cant a 205
