Good luck with the project mate, if your going to the trouble of building a zvh if I were you id just go full zetec, especially as your Orion is already efi

Looking forward to seeing this we don't see enough orions anymore and I do hope it won't be the same blue as mine lol. There are loads of different routes to go down with regards to the engine build and everyone will have there own opinions as to which way to do things. Personally as I have done all that you are about to do, I would not go zvh, it won't last you will end up going zetec turbo in the end and its just as easy to do in fact easier ! I started zvh and have been full detective for over 2 years now look at everyone on here building fast fwd Ford zetecs Dean,Gary,Clarkee,Luke,me and more it's the way to go and not just for big power. Also if you want any bits for a zetec build I have just changed my spec so have some good bits up for grabs lol

oriurbo

Engine will go in a piece of piss i've done a zetec(silvertop) conversion, zetec turbo(blacktop) and rs2000 into a j reg mk2 orion use the cvh engine mount all you need is to cut a small piece off of the cvh engine mount to make it fit. Good luck

you need to open a photobucket account and copy and paste the link on here a lot safer

orion143

iv just been on and set up a photobucket so when i do a bit more will get some pic s up right today i picked up a 2ltr silver top from a mondeo can i use a 1.6 silvertop sump flywheel on the 2ltr and what about wireing and efi set up to get it to run i wont to run it as a 2ltr silvertop for the first 12months then do a turbo convershon but will give me time to gaver bits up and what dose every one think keep it original colour or have it resprayed light metaclic blue
