Fittibg a Cvh in Mk1 Fez?????
Ive been offered a high spec Cvh at a very low price.
I would have it connected to a 4spd box so am i right in thinking that the N/S inner wing doesnt need cut??
Also can you use the Cvh engine mount on the O/S wing??
Do i need to change the brake servo (it a 1100 effort?) so that the distributor fits, cos in my 1100 Mk2 fez when carried out conversion from OHV engine to Cvh i had to change the servo? If it does need changed, what too????
Are there any other pitfalls to look out for if i go for the conversion??
As i said the engine is very fast (Dyno @ 134 with standard exhaust) and i know its in very good nick.
Cheers for any advice, i appreciate it all!!!!

Im not the most up one MK1 fiesta's but, heres what i have to offer:
The inner wing shouldnt need cutting, 5 speed boxes are longer, i believe this is why they cut them.
Engine mount should fit, if not get a MK2 XR2 engine mount as they have CVH's.
Brake servo: If anything i would of though the master cylinder would need upgrading, the servo's are usually the same, master cylinders are usually a bigger internal diameter on larger engined models. (if its got brakes designed for an 1100 u wana be upratin the whole lot, be shit scary otherwise)
Don't think theres a lot else u seem to have listed the main problem areas
