i have a cvh hanging around from my old mk5 cab, pretty much the same thing! drop me a PM if you're interested A ZVH (zetec bottom end, cvh head) is a nice idea if you need it to 'look' standard under the bonnet, but you'd be screwed if you had an accident and they found out

yeah you are right, insurance would take me to the cleaners. Its a nightmare trying to find a cvh 3i engine. The rest of the car is standard so i should keep it to the original spec. If anyone knows of anyone breaking a 3i or anything with a efi cvh engine,please contact me..cheers
