Hi mate, there was a long thread about this in Gen Discussion a few days ago. As usual it descended into a bit of a bicker and there were some people saying that absolutely all 4x4 had 200 blocks, while a few people said some had 205 blocks.

My 4x4 had a 205 block when I bought it. But car had a lot of owners so I can't say if it had it in from new.

3 big numbers on the exhaust side of the block. either 200 or 205

Also check the engine number, think its on the dizzy side of the engine. You may well find the engine has been changed.

Just checked my engine number and it matches my vin and all my windows are etched with this number, so i am asuming that the 205 block is original from factory

Mine's in the same place



Note: 1990 build codes start with L, so a 1990 one would be Lx12345
