Zvh to zt swap
Hey guys,
Ive always been happy with zvh engines due to the more "fitting" look in the bay and i always liked the sound of them,,blah blah blah,
BUT
Now im swaying, i cant trust the cvh head on my engine now due to someones "attempt" at fitting an adaptor plate witch involved drilling into water jacket and then using copius amounts of sealant to try stop it leaking,
So could take head off get sent away and poss fixed, but if im going to be sensible it seems wiser to listen to what pretty much everyone on here says and go zetec turbo,
I have just bought a 2.0 blacktop head.
My engine block is a cgi block which i belive is same as blacktop in design
Main things i need to know is:
What parts will i need, like which headgasket, cambelt tensioner just a blacktop one?
Best inlet manifold for 400+
Is it best to use 1.8 cams in 2.0 head??
Which valve springs are best?
Sorry for life story!!
Going to start stripping existing engine down this weekend and will start a build thread,
Cheers
Scott
