Stu Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 YB blocks come in 200 and 205. Escort Cosworth = 200, Sierra Cosworth = 205, RS500 = Special 200. I see this one is going for some long studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmotorsport Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Small update. The old mans Mk1 Cortina has been coming on pretty well recently.
