' if its a later 4wd block it will have 200 cast into the side. A genuine cosworth block had grade 2 or 3 bores, look near the distributor hole there will be 4 numbers, these are the gradings of the 4 bores so they should all be a 2 or a 3. '

As far as i know ALL 200 marked blocks are 4x4 Cosworth.
You have 205 blocks that can be pintos, 2wd cosworth and RS 500. There are also 202 blocks that are from Transit vans IIRC.

Pintos are actually 2.4 US engines, we just call them pintos
the 205 block is used in 2wd cosworth and several other Fords. The RS500 had another type of block than the 200 and the 205. But I am not sure of the id number. They are not very good so that is why we use the 200 block. Better cooling etc. It is worth a bit as long it is in good shape! If you are going to sell one then I am interested
