Well, on our zetec's here in the states we have this thing called VCT.. variable cam timing.. basically what it does is it dumps exhaust back into the cc.. this mechanism is localized in the cyl head and is electronically controlled.. and is for emissions bs

I know there are some zetec heads here that are non-vct... but I really crave some cvh power ya know keep it escort motor, although the escort zx2's were zetec equipped.. but allas..

Yeah I was checking out what all I need, and I think I need to either buy an ebay ZVH conversion water pump bracket to use my cvh water pump or fab up a bracket (flange)

thanks for the info.. time to get reading

Well, I figure I have the money to spend, and while I'm turboing an escort.. there is a lot to prove here in the states on what a ford powered escort can do.. a lot of the escort gt guys here are mazda bp powered.. that's the 1.8l DOHC mazda motor.. basically they are mazda protege's.. mazda bg chassis.. well that is the chassis my car is on.. but the cvh is mounted in with a custom (well, stock here, but you get my point) mount that was created by us ford for the protege/323 bg chassis.. my car weighs in at 2100lbs for a sedan .. i could have a 2dr hatchback escort.. but i like the sedan look.. lowered, escort rs turbo look going on a lil bit..

I know a guy that has 550+whp on a mazda bpt setup in his escort gt about a half day drive away

time to show them what the cvh can do.. or hybrid cvh.. the only way I could get forged internals for the cvh, was go about using the zetec block, which was built from the cvh block, instead, since those have been mass produced already.. and the zetec block being a beefier setup than the cvh block doesnt hurt either

the only worry i have is not getting the proper breathe rate (valvetrain!!) in this first zvh setup here in the states

thanks for any imput you all may have.. and i need to get to reading
