block pics as requested, one of the pistons-
stamped 85.27 and 0.5+
i've roughly measured the bores of the block and there approx 85.5mm-

showing the top of the block and oil filter position
the smallest gap is 6mm between each of the bores-

showing the blocks stamp, cvh-

showing a number on the block positioned behind piston one-


And i measured the standard gasket, its only approx 83mm safechav the metal edge of it gasket is pressed where it averhung

 

Thats a CVH alright.

And thats a big old re-bore

ooooooo, and looking at the back, me thinks that could be a 1.9 long stroke motor

Bet your glad i thought of it then! Thats gota be a fuckin mental motor?! I wonder what cubic capacity that is?!?!?!

 

do u think there maybe zetec pistons mate?

 

I really couldn't tell you mate, but......there fuckin massive regardless?!

And im pretty damn sure thats a tall black with all those extra casting marks on the rear?!

Thats gota be well over 2.0l capacity

 

i did think that once i saw the cvh casting mark- even specialized engines only go to 83mm on the tall block 1.9s so i'm a bit stumped tbh

 

if it is a 88mm stroke with 85.5 mm bore would make it 2.0

it could be a usa block as they made them in 1.9 and 2.0 in 1997

 

Very manly

one thing for sure, you wana get that on EFI and reap the benefits - MFI will struggle with that!!

 

i've ordered another felpro gasket as there the only place that deals with this size bore on a cvh- i didn't know they did a 2litre cvh aswell in usa
hopefully go gotech sometime soon, as u said safechav the mfi strugles with it as its is- i've always wondered why my fuel economy sucks so much

 

im not doing very well on selling bits this week am i

i would of sold you my felpro one im never guna use it

 

u never said u had one! i just paid getting on £40 for one form burton power cheaper than £50 off ebay

 

I fucking did you retard

learn to READ

I would of sold you mine cheaper than that i don't want it

 

i didnt think they did a 2.0 so just did a search and they do

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_CVH_engine

 

U wana see the heads that come on those late American CVH's

They put ours to shame in every respect

 

bludy ell the claws are out
retard, i'm so offended , no wait i'm not 15
sell me ur gasket anyway i could do with a backup

 

Ah well the price has gone up ive just decided im really really attached to it now

 

it looks like 1 of ferrida ys 1820 blocks

 

any more details mate??

safechav, no wonder u never sell anything- u get far to attached

 

I'll hook it out tomorrow, and check its the right one, im sure they are 87mm on mine, i'll have to check

 

cheers that'd be good
looks like its an overbored 1900 tall block that takes the capacity to roughly 2litre
now all i have to work out is why the smart- ass bolted a zetec sump to it

 

cant be a 1.8 as the bore size would be the same as the 1.6 with a 88mm stroke and theres no way you can bore a 1.6 out that much

so it must have be a tall block with 88mm stroke and the 85.5 bore which makes it 2.0

could be one of ferridays 2.0 blocks tho

 

american tall block thumper

 

i've got a machining receipt that states overboring was carried out in order to accept 2litre zetec pistons- but its a sketchy receipt, cash in hand sorta thing so i always thought it was crap- kinda seems possible now using a 1.9 block as a starting point

 

ferridays 2.liter is a 1800 bored out as iv have 1 in my fiesta , and have knowin mike 4 years

 

thats wierd how its stamped "C V H" ive never seen this on any CVH block

but either way u have a very special block!!!!

 

my cars special
thanks alot guys much appreciated

 

is your engine number on the left side by the exhaust manifold cos my ferriday engine being a sierra block its now by the inlet manifold

 

i've found a round stamp where u say, can't get a clear pic so this will have to do- also a ford emblem on the right hand side but thats all i can see

is that the stamp ur on about?

 

A special engine for a special bloke PMSL

 

ur so nice i feel so special right now
any news on the gasket u said u had?
the stamping on the pistons reads
AE 24003 +0.50 ----->
85.27 sp 0.03 AAK

 

yer i got news on the gasket

The news is, ARE YOU GUNA BUY IT OR NOT

 

chunt- bit of a lucky find/buy that escort turbo of yours hey. nice one mate. would love that block in mine. u go on feoc much these days?

mike

 

propa weird

 

thats the american block 1.9,looks the same as my mates
