Default Cvh block/zetec head

Anyone ever done this?

Currently acquiring an xr2 ill use as a track car as my rs1600 i planned originally to use on track will be too good to track when done.

Anyway long story short don't like the way an zvh drives fuckall then loads of torque then change gear; so

have a forged 1.6 cvh bottom end available at decent money
no oil pump issues like a full zetec
solid lifters as standard so revving no issue on a blacktop/no £2k cvh wild headwork needed impossible to find roller rockers etc.
can use focus rs exhaust man

has anyone done this? Any obvious issues I may have missed, had a search but hardly anything came up apart from a pisstake thread on what to call one.
