Default where to get a ported zetec head

looking for a ported/flowed 2.0 zetec head with big valves etc.

was looking at cncheads, specialised engines, burton power etc but they all want big big bucks!

i've already got some stage2 cams so its just the head and valvegear etc i am looking for.

and where can i get a heavy duty head gasket?

CNC Heads without a doubt

Try asking all the other companies for Head flow test results??

I doubt if you'll get a reply

Raceline are well good. Well pleased with mine. Reason i went with them is you can get a head with matching cam so you know it will all work well together.

how much is it from raceline or cylinder head developments?

i got a price of £750 plus vat from cncheads.

or i could get a ford racing head from USA for about £700 shipped, but its made for the ford focus (blacktop) and mine is an old silvertop so it probably wouldnt fit.

You get what you pay for.

Jim's work from CNC heads is outstanding and his heads make power, others may be cheaper but might make the head flow worse than standard.

Its the risk you take.

yeah i see what you mean. i've seen a CNC head and it looked very very good quality and have heard excellent reports about CNC.

shame its £750 plus vat and a £300 exhange charge though

oh well i'd better get cracking with some overtime!
