Block Swap HELP !!
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

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
