Malcolm,
I agree with Errol they were used in the performance 710 L18 SSS in Japan as
well, i can't recall ever seeing a W block in the L20B but i don't look at many
of them anyway. There is substantially increased coolant capacity in the W
block as well, just can't recall how much but it's noticeable.
Just a thought in closing, was the LPG L20B block used in the 200B anything
special? I saw a factory one at a local wreckers a while ago but my only
interest was inside the boot.
