would it not be worth looking at an expired 200 block so you've the meat to long stud it but go for liners instead? best of both worlds that way I'd have thought.

Mat,
Don't take this the wrong way pal, but WHY ? If I were fitting a 200 block and not want to be on a T34.48, in that case just refresh your engine and keep the 205 block bud, save some pennies.
