What parts do you want?
There is no need to buy a 500 block as the 200/4x4 one is better
There is no need to buy a 500 head as a 4x4 one is better

Why build a 500 spec engine thou?!

as said their nothing special compared 2 what u can do now and cost wise most ppl are going down the normal route of 4 bigger injectors and more 'modern' set ups as its alot more cost effective!!!!!!!!!

Wire wrung and 1mm over bored means there is very little 'scope' with that block!

I do not want to get on a band wagon of slating your knowledge but you are doing yourself no favours here, the 202 block is just a late 2 litre pinto block for a 1992 transit van.

All cosworth blocks have the same physical dimensions as any 2 litre pinto - you could take a 2 litre pinto block from any mid 80s on, Ford vehicle and install all cosworth internals and strap on all the RS500 bolt ons and it would run ok at normal operating conditions.

Owning a mint RS500 and knowing in first hand detail the construction of them are two different things.

I only ever get involved in discussions when I know first hand the information I am providing is accurate.

Exactly my point, I did not know the answer to a question "are RS500 VIN numbers stamped up or down on the shells" so rather than guess I asked someone who would know the answer, and it was not you I asked anyway.

RS500 ownership is not a secret society, the info is readily available you do not hold the rights to it - why get stroppy just because you do not know everything about them and someone proves you wrong on a few points

Listen and Learn, then quote facts not hearsay

Thinking of building one!

Here you go Jim, close up pics of the "Old School" RS-500 8 injector set-up:

RS-500 inlet manifold/plenium assembly with 8 x green injectors fitted,
70mm throtle body, TPS, ISCV, dual fuel rails, regulator etc.......Good for 550/560 BHP on the correct spec engine
