someone i know has mks old 300bhp engine bottom end is built by field motorsport and has the nms stage 4 head and soild lifters ect .....

its the best spec avalible and wants £1500 for the lot and thats cheap for a engine that will happily rev past 7k....

if it dont sell im having it for my rs1600i that im building the missus

v man

personally i would bother with the cvh bottom end anymore
as t ztec bottom end is much stronger/newer/safer/less likley to go wrong/take more power/ and no more to build to a good spec for turbo charging

that is the way you should go

what rods and pistons does he have , dont need the head TBH

Not many compies can get CP and arrow

Everyone who i speak says different things , but when i spoke to Mark Sheed at ford fair he said Cp psitons and Arrow rods are the way forward

Tony Turbo's engine was built to take 400bhp and hasn't done alot of real work.

Why the obsession with CP pistons and Arrow rods? Tony's has Ross Racing pistons that were custom-made as one of three batches I had done, one of which went into my own engine, that I'm sure you know of. This engine has Farndon Rods too, which are the ones to use, if cost isn't a concern, they are £750 a set.

Believe me, there are physical limitations in the design of the CVH engine that will been seen long before the strength of components like Pistons/Rods is a worry. Good quality H-Section Rods will go beyond 500bhp and there is no limitation to a decent quality forged Piston.

Buy a proven low mileage engine like Tony's, this way you'll halve the cost of having such an engine built and end up with an engine that has been proven, but with low mileage.

My old engine actually still sits on an engine stand, freshly rebuilt and I'm sure the lad that bought it could be coaxed into selling it also.

im just going on what Mark Sheed told me at ford fair.

All the big power CVH's seem to have them
