Best of both worlds?

[Sean]

Does anyone know if the 200 engine will fit/work inside a 197? Any specifics on the changes/differences in the engine?

PS DONT ASK!! haha

 

[jase]

[jase]

will definitely fit as its the same.

 

[withoutabix]

[Sean]

I think so yeah, it'd be rude not to really.

 

[withoutabix]

ye £850 is a bargain the guys sound been round his about 4 times picking stuff up!

 

[Foxspeed]

i have looked over both - 197 and 200 engine - there are no external differences - think most changes are internal - cylinder head and electronics

 

[Paul]

Just stick to NOS this time lol! Good luck with it!

Does this mean there is another 200 being broken up then?

 

[RussZS]
