Anyone know much about these ? ive bought a complete 1992 transit engine with the 202 block, going to strip it down and start building a spare engine...

anyone got any info on the blocks, when they where used etc..

Ive herd they're as strong as a 200 block

cheers paul

 

Thats a pinto block and not a true yb block. It is some Cosworth engines her, ho use them, but i am not sure if they are as stronge as 200, i have heard that they are not that strong

 

They aren't as stong as a 205 block IIRC?

 

as above

 

i wont be going for 500 bhp then

 

As said don't think there strong as 205 blocks, but are turbod ok, the last digit of the number refers to the year of production I.E 205= 2.0 displacement produced 1985 onwards-200 1990 onwards and 202 1992 onward.

205 blocks are ment to be able to take around 400hp but i think that figure is debatable though.

 

definatly mixed reviews about this one, how come some escort cossys where fitted with 202 blocks ?

surlet they wouldnt fit a block thats less reliable than a 205 block

 

They won't have been fitted with a 202 block from new matey
