as above just go full zetec, get a blacktop give jano a call and buy one of his piston/rod combo's and bolt it all back together again with a set of ian howells valve springs in it and with right manifolds and turbo a nice reliable lag free car can be had with 300-350 on tap, as far as i know blacktop is stronger in every way bar main caps but as of yet no one's had a set go in an engine with anything under 500 bhp but oil pumps in silvertops is a problem when revving them hard just look under luke's resto

silvertop are more common for zvh, sump pans are easier to sort to avoid the exhaust.
probably more but can't seem to think of why i went with a silvertop bottom end.
