Default zvh or zt??

hi guys, had this a while now and need to sort it out,ive got an s2 rst, and a few engines spare and ''some'' cash, but not sure what to do....

ive a cvh which is forged but knocking and buckeled in my s2, it has a kent 37 cam and big valve head, also i have a 1.8 zvh which i believe is a standard bottom end with a piper t285, my original plan was to put the big valve head and kent cam on the 1.8 bottom end... and go efi(ofab/ofac 195 chip+beiges) and run 14 psi...

However! ive had ideas of selling the cvh heads,t3 turbo's and cams, and with that money, buying a decomp plate and 16v head for the 1.8 zetec and all the wee bits to go efi(ofac/ofab with 195 and beiges)+ t34 at 12psi? would this be a better due to the head? or not worth it?

any ideas welcome, what would be the nicer car to drive? and have the most torque.

cheeRS!

i think you may have problems refitting a zetec head if all the zvh work has been done to the block like blocked up oil ways holes drilled for the water pump ect you may have to get another block and start again
