Can someone settle this argument for me.

What block came as std in the 4x4 saphire cosworth

 

200

 

very very early ones had 205's didnt they?

 

Really, Nines a 1993 and it has a 205 block!!

The bottom end had been lightened and balanced and the block i got it off
gave me all the paper work etc.

I was reading PF and noticed the 200 block in the mag was different to mine, So i played detective to find the answer. I had a feeling 4x4's came with a 200 block, I bet he was just a cheap git!!

 

ALL 4x4s had a 200 block.

The extra thickness was cast into the crank webs by Cosworth due to having a diff bolted down there on this model.

 

I knew it, Mines got a 205 block!!! He had the bottom end lightened and balanced
and various other bits.

What a cheap git!!!

 

He probably had a spare engine done to save him being off the road. Doesnt help you though i guess pal

 

maybe at the time the bloke COULDN'T get hold of a 200 block so he used the 205 thinking that will do

but as said above ALL 4x4's Sierra/Escos had the 200 block from factory

 

Bugger it, Best be on the look out for a 200 block and do a swap around.

 

If it aint broke...

 

Good point, It's running VERY well to be honest, 350BHP.
As long as i don't go too mental it should be ok for a while.
