Sup guys, I've been tuning this CVH motor over here in the states for a good while now.. and a few of you may remember my past thread comparing the lean-burn and hemi cyl heads here stateside..
https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=110898

I just want to get a sense of which zetec blocks you guys are rocking over there with your 1.6cvh heads? 1.6, 1.8 or the 2.0 block?

If you are using the 2.0 zetec block, this has the same block dimensions (bore, stroke, etc) as the 2.0 SPI CVH motor that we have over here in the states.

From that point, if you do use the 2.0l zetec block, what have you found to be the best valvetrain setup for high horsepower and more upper powerband? This is the route I wish to take, since we have the mazda pos boxes over here and they can't handle the torque. Also might as well make a mean revving, stroked motor while I'm at it (I don't believe the strokyness of the zetec and spi blocks will effect much)

I would like to know which cam profile has the best high-boost potential. Piper 285t2? CVH 34, 35, 36?

What would make this great is if you guys had a whicked cam profile on hand that I could use in building a camshaft over here. I'll also be using stainless steel valve springs and titanium retainers from a ford 2.3l i4 (dirrect swap).

I already have a 2.0L zetec block from a Ford Escort ZX2 forged up with forged JE pistons and Eagle Hsection conrods w/ arp bolts.. and the 2.0spi cvh head hemisphericaled out.. pics soon.

I just need some info on how the zetec blocks are handled over there, and if they are still revable with your 1.6l cvh heads.

Thanks for any imput, and if you can think of anything I have not touched (just got in from surfing) please mention!

Thanks!
