Hi all, wondering if people can help me out, i'm looking to do a bit of a bottom end re-bild on the 3dr as its well overdue.

Am running quite a high specon my 205 block and am fancying going for a 200 block now.

My question is will all the parts off my 205 block (appart from the pistons which i want 4x4 anyways) directly fit the 200 block, things like crank/bearings, etc or do i have to buy anything bespoke to the 200?

Will 4x4 rods fir the 2wd crank too (as i have a set of balanced 4x4 rods)

Thanks

 

I've acquired a 200 block recently for my engine rebuild, so I'd say try to source the block first, they're like gold dust

 

BRAMMER selling one one here, long studded, am contemplating it but dont know if al my 205 block bits will fit? It might spiral out of control cost wise if i have to change everything

I know i want to do the pistons, i got a set of std 4x4 pistons with balanced rods, was just going to fit them to my 205 block (its been diagnosed with cronic piston slap and possibly big end gone) but figured i may as well go 200 block while its all appart.

 

The "need" for a 200 block is well over done by a lot imo.
Certainly if below 450 I wouldn't even think about it over a rebored 205 block, but yes all the parts interchange.
