Looks like some decent gear on e-bay.

Don't think the pistons are new, look like they've been blasted, but the block looks interesting.

sold by Cosworth for higher output race applications. (Standard price was £800+ from Cosworth but no longer available


Bollocks

It IS better than a 205 block tho so hes not lying too bad.

Dont think it turned out to be quite as good as a 200 block afterall tho did it?

Now that was what I thought........(Transit Engine). I seem to remember someone managed o get a couple a while back and thought they could get a load of them really cheap, but unfortunately it didn't work out.

Maybe one of the guru's can tell us the truth about these blocks.

I think Karl had a lnspection of them but I can't remember what his opinion of them was.

IIRC they thicker walled like a 200 block but can't be long studded and the thickness of the bore wall gets thicker on a 200 but is constant on a 202, like the 205.

Think they were the diferences.

Seems to be fine in mine

Uncle Henry :

Spark Plugs didn't arrive before I left the ship, but my relief will forward them on to me as soon as he gets them.

Sorry for delay, but we'll both have them eventually.

Sorry for not letting you know earlier, but as you know I've had a few things to sort out over the last week.

Regards Jim
