If it's a Volvo 360 injection, it's the B200E engine.
If it's a Volvo 360 with carb, it's the B200K engine...

(catalysator > B200F)

Not neccessarily............. it could be a B19E (inj) or B19A (carb)!

But as this one has a B200? I'll shut up.........

B200F is also possible if there is cat.

there are a few other codes too - b200ef and so on

Never heard of B200EF.... The engines with 200E and 200EA are the engines with egr and puls-air systems to make exhaus gases cleaner.

The B200F has a lambda sond. I'm not sure about the cat.

Yes and no....

The B19E was fitted in the first Mk2 360 GLT, but the B19A was only fitted in the 345 an 343 GLS. When It was changed into 360 GLS, it was built with the B200K.

The B19A has a CD 175 2SE stromberg carburator.

..at least, I think it's the cas, but some times, you have surprises with the specifications.

Quentin and V6 Man are both a bit wrong....

Basically.....
360 GLS = B19A
360 GL (the replacement) = B200K
But a few late GLSs had B200s.

You can get a B200...
EA
EE
EO
ES
...All of which are subtle variations of the B200E. There isn't really any such thing as a plain B200E - it must have an additional letter....but we're getting really fussy now

But same goes with B200K too, it has O or E or some other letter also. Perhaps it is marketing area and some accessories that another letter describes?

As RandomHero said earlier, it's all to do with EGR, Pulsair, etc...possibly compression ratios and camshafts too.

At the risk of being really fussy, there is such a thing as a B200E, it came in the 200's and 700's

Doesn't normally stop you

It wouldn't surprise me if there actually are different revisions - just not listed in VADI$.
