well ok,but yes they are in very short supply at the moment for genuine Motorsport blocks, i dare say there are loads of used 200 production blocks around,but they aren't as good really....

Who else sells them then? Where on the Mountune website does it say that they are 200 Blocks? (The one with the Nikasil Liners)

Last time I heard, there was only 17 200 blocks left. However, they ARE supposed to be doing another batch at some point that will be modified to be even stronger (expected to obviously be more money).

A mate has been trying to get a 200 block on standard bore and has not found one

Did get one but was cracked in between head bolts.

Mike, do you think they might produce the next batch with 25.6 mm
extra height (tall-block)? After all, "It's the future of the YB"


Dont make me go to photo-bucket pleeease........

i paid £675 with "fitting" kit last year from Woodford.

I reckon alot of over bored blocks will be fitted with liners to make the blocks reusable in the future.
