I had a "Stage 3 2.0 Zetec" they built which was the top spec they did without going into forged rods and high compression pistons. This was thier "fully gas flowed and ported head" which I always thought was a little rough for an engine which wasn't exactly cheap!

gutted i paid 1500 for my engine and has only done running in miles and is a proper built cvh..... so always best to shop about....
i was going to just pay a company to do a standard rebuild but for half the price i brought a proper cvh....
to be honest mate if you want a good engine i wouldnt bother with a zvh i would either do a big spec cvh or go full zetec turbo as the zetec is the same price as a zvh and is a much better conversion

Not being funny mate, but are you saying a zvh isn't a good engine.

Machining alone came to £430, gaskets, bearings and seals came to £200 from burtons.
Hope that helps some one when rebuilding their own engine! This also isn't taking into account the 12 or more hours it will take to measure up and blue print the bottom end or the time it will take to lightly port the cylinder head, so for a good spec high quality rebuild by a tuner i can easily understand the bills some people get. I would probably charge 2500-3500 grand for an engine to similar spec.
Rob,
