probably a bit of a pointless question but something i was pondering...
At what point does an engine stop being the original part number,
if you take say a cvh and add..
new cam,modify the head,new inlet and exhaust manifolds,new oversize pistons,new rods ,bearings, machined out block,new crank,new flywheel clutch,gearbox etc etc
surely this is no longer a cvh??
don't ask me what it would be called though.

 

modified?

 

The engine surely would always be a cvh until you changed the head/block for a different one? IE zetec head on cvh block.

 

Engine stops being an engine shortly after being mapped by EP if a thread I read is anything to go by

Seriously I'd say as long as it retained original external dimensions of the blOck and head casting then it's the same engine IMO

 

Now now! above..

it,ll always be a cvh (Compound Valve angle Hemispherical combustion chamber) the head and block determine this no matter what else you do.

 

remember it's a hemi, so I claim its got heritage!

 

Yeah makes sense I guess. Like the zvh hybrid
