hmm, its intesting that you prefer the cvh. personally i'm not a big fan of the cvh, my mate had one in a mk4 escort and i didnt really like it. I found it quite slow. on the other hand my dad had a sierra years ago with a 1600 pinto and it didnt seem to bad, he certainly liked the car anyway. just goes to show everyones experiences of things are different I suppose. If I'm really stuck though it could stil be a possibilty as they're easy to get hold of.
part of me is wanting to just get the car running with any old engine and the part of me wants to hold out for a good 2 litre pinto or twin cam. dont know what to do..
cheers
