Does anyone know if a 1800cc cvh sierra engine bottom end will bolt on an xr3i cvh engine

thanks a lot

 

As far as I know, no it won't, not without work (not sure what.)
www.fordsierraclub.co.uk One of the guys on there will know for definate.

If your wanting something like that, then you'll need to get an American 1900CVH bottom end, or 1800 Zetec

 

thanks mate

 

hi in fast-food it said if you use 1800cc zetec engine bottom end it will bolt start on an xr3i cvh engine (E reg mfi) all you need to do is get some different head bolts and use a cvh head gasket ,but I am trying to cheek this before starting.this is a non turbo zhv

thanks

 

Does Ian Howell of Fiesta Frency not sell a DIY zvh kit? Comes with all the bits you need to build your own zvh. HTH

 

I believe it is possible but you can make life harder with certain bottom ends - i.e Mondeo bottom ends have different sumps, water pumps etc which have to be changed.

It is also possible to have an 1800 Sierra CVH bottom end with a 1600 CVH head but I think the Sierra engine is built for economy rather than perfromance so it may not be worthwhile.

Hope this helps mate - they were possibilties I thought of for my XR!
