hi my friend has a m reg mk3.5 which was a 1.3i that i had a 1.6 cvh xr2 engine fitted in (which was done very badly) and now i have the fun of sorting out, ive rebuilt the webber carb changed inlet manifolds and now getting in to the timing, just wondering what the timing specs are for these and the fuel press,

did xr2 or 3s ever come with power steering??


whats the best upgrades to fit to the cvh? done a 4 branch manifold and exhaust

looked at cams so far but dont know the best,

is it poss to fit a 2litre bottom end or is tht just a rumour i have heard

tht clears that up then, is there any power steering pumps and brackets tht will bolt on to the cvh block? or will it require custom mounts? thought it better to ask thn go making stuff .

Power steering, was an option on german spec but RHD supplied through Polar to the forces in xr3 in 1980.
Yes a 2L zetec bottom end can be used with cvh head VERY easily.

how easily is wasy lol is it a matter of head gasket bolts and bolt head on, would we just need to use the ztec mounts or cvh?

I'd pm Roosie off here, as he has done this mod a few times, never done it myself(yet).
