Anyone seen a 202 block?
Ive a 202 block laying in the garage for years just wondering whats the difference in it and the 205 they both look identacal as ive a 205 laying netx to it, i know the 205 was the sierra block and the 202 came from the old transits but if there the same why put two different numbers on them?

the 202 block is/was a transit block as stated , but i also beleive they were a pallet replacement engine from fords for premature engine failures !!
eg you had a 6mth old transit at the time and the motor let go ford would replace with the pallet engine and these were designated as 202 blocks...
also heard a rumour these are a little stronger than the 205 blocks ,due to a differnt cast or mix of metal ???? (unsure about this 100% though)

Transit diesel block.
Can't be long studded, similar to 205 block in the lower end of cylinder.
It has a thicker wall Different core plugs to a 205 I think.
Not as good as a 200 block.
Read a few threads about this over the last 4/5 years, don't think they require much machine work to run a cossie.

Diesel ??? Transit petrol block, basicly it was first cast in 92 (hense the 02, 205 was cast on or after 85), stronger/thicker webbing at he rear to stop the block wings cracking with the huge bellhousing adapter plate the transit used, heavyer than a 205 block as well and i seem to recall smaller core plugs possably ?
If you find one in a pre 92 transit it's cos it's had a replacement engine after the factory ran out of 205 blocks.

No.....the 202 Block that came from a Pinto (Injection) was a Petrol!
the Diesel's were 2.5cc...... Nothing like a PETROL Pinto engine
