tbh ive not really read up on the advantages and disadvantages of both conversions. ive heard you get good power from a zvh.

i see where you are coming from tho with the 16v thing, then there is the silver top/black top question. its black thats in it.

time to do some homework

If it's already full zetec there's no way i'd be messing with putting an old cvh head on it! Depends what power you're after as to how you go about it really, engine internals/turbo choice etc.
