Looks good and should deliver the goods but why ZVH? Might as well have used the Zetec which has a good head from the off, saves a fortune getting the CVH head flowing properly.

should be rapid. i love the cvh, esp these ridiculous power ones like christain, tony ect but the zvh is a good way to get the grunt via cc's and in a small part cost. must cost a fortune to build a 300hp 1600 cvh.
