Really, Nines a 1993 and it has a 205 block!!

The bottom end had been lightened and balanced and the block i got it off
gave me all the paper work etc.

I was reading PF and noticed the 200 block in the mag was different to mine, So i played detective to find the answer. I had a feeling 4x4's came with a 200 block, I bet he was just a cheap git!!

ALL 4x4s had a 200 block.

The extra thickness was cast into the crank webs by Cosworth due to having a diff bolted down there on this model.

maybe at the time the bloke COULDN'T get hold of a 200 block so he used the 205 thinking that will do

but as said above ALL 4x4's Sierra/Escos had the 200 block from factory
