I don't think so. I know the heads on the 200 are quite different from the earlier models. I believe new 200tdi heads are now in short supply.

Every thing I need for my 90 is in short supply it would seem.

Any one got a complete engine they don't need ????

I do believe I've heard that the bottom ends are the same although I cannot be 100% on that, James Martin would be the best person to answer that I reckons.

I also thought bottom ends were same with the addition of the strengthening ladder chassis at the bottom of the 200 tdi block. I'll be watching this one with interest...
