pinto 202 block?
 

anyone know about the 202 pinto block,newer or older,and any good???i dont know wether to bie it?

made for a Transit and that's where it should stay! imo

so good to turbo then??

nope u need a 200 or 205 block if its for a cossie

p.s its buy not bie ;-)

fine to turbo it,used them loads of them the 202 was the newest block designed and produced by Ford,
yes designed and used in a Transit but where do you think the 205 block came from :cry: :cry: :cry:
Iam sure there will be loads and loads of post about this,but if its new buy it

not much difference in them tbh compared to 205 blocks really a lot of pub talk about them mainly has put people off them, had a long discussion with eric @ JEM engines who builds with 202/205/200's all day every day nearly.

i had one in my capri laser and drove just as good as a 202 block one my mate had. both standard engines converted to run unleaded and standard 32/36DGAV carbs.

are these the turkish blocks ???

No

what are thay newer than the 205?? thanks
i got the choise out of a 205 or a 202 planing to turbo it?

yes,as I said the Last block Ford produced

thanks mate 202 it is

my pleasure,just goes to show dont listen to hear say/pub talk :roll: as those saying it have never used or even seen what there talking down

i have heard of cossie's running 202 blocks, so it wouldnt put me off

pretty sure you cant long stud them tho, but i'm sure will confirm

My mate is running one, you can't long stud them, as they are essentially a 205 block. he is running 500Bhp though without any block related problems so far, but is using ARP studs and nuts, so time will tell.

Given the choice, I would not use anything but a long studded 200 Block, it just isn't worth the risk/hassle running anything else for a big power build.

i had a 207 block in my capri out of a transit, how are they different from 202/205 blocks?

never even knew about 207 blocks still being out there anymore, never hear about them.

as RS SPECIALIST says, people called me all names under the sun for using a 202 rather than 200 or 205 block on my capri engine, but if anything it ran better than a 205 one did, all in all i would never turn down a 202 block, and may buy mine back just incase something old skool comes my way again, fantastic engines get them while theyre still out there
