RS500 blocks were totally different castings, the smaller core plugs was just chance, designer John Hancock ordered a brand new block produced for these as he considered no reliability in racing above 350 for a 205 block, this block was produced by ford as opposed to cosworth, this was strengthened in several places, including the top deck being thicker than on 205, as the blocks have more wobble than a jelly!!, this was produced on a std production machining line, the lubiraction system was also changed.

What about the new badge of 200 blocks that were mentioned on this forum last year? It was said they would have a stronger cast and will be good for 800bhp cossies!!! What about them? I think Martin Hadland was involved in the project and he mentioned even stonger/better YB heads!!!! But I didn't hear anything more!!!!

New 200 blocks
I guess what is needed is a new block with thicker bore walls, better material spec (like sintered graphite iron) and the option of increased deck height upto 14mm....
