I believe i have a 1900 power engineering CVH lump in my kitcar at present.
- I would like to prove this, and to get it on a rolling road and re tuned shortly.

However at the same time im have considered engining the car with a 2.0l silvertop zetec as im considering entering a year race series at feel this is a cheaper more replaceable/expendable route towards 150bhp in an engine that will be used more vigously than currently.

Hither too, im curious as to what the 1900cvh might be worth should i sell it.

At present i have no real knowlage about its age or condition, other than the fact on a compression test it appears and in use it runs and pulls well. The prevous owner said he took good care of it and performed regular oil changes on it and used good oil. Certainly this is something i have continued with a change every 6months/1500miles with Valvoline Vr1. The engine is running on twin dellorto 40's and a megajolt ignition with a fairly conservative ignition map and rev limit (inc hard cut limit).

No one?

 

Hello Daniel,

It is difficult to determine value in this case. Not haveing knowledge about the age of the engine build, or condition of.
Is it based on a US/Canada 1900 tall block? That may have some value as the 1900 tall had a 82mm bore standard, with enough cylinder wall thickness to go to 83mm.

Cheers

 

Yeah, i realised the fact that the fact i do not know the age of the work or the hours on the engine since makes the value less certain. The engine is built on the 1600 block and head (1985 block afair). Compression and power is good and the engine doesnt appear to burn any oil.
