Very steep..
Also, don't think it needs a thread of its own....!

Likely to be a 200kw engine (swapped TB - I doubt it)

how can i check that this is a 220kw? - it has modified cast iron heads, all the casting dates match Dec 00 re-stamp date June 02 and it has factory paper decals that match as well.

The throttle body definatley has been swapped over from Ford prior to me getting this.

200kw had alloys didnt they ?

The postage is almost as much as a second hand 220 costs.
