these sites are good from what i can tell ps think the 1.8 is alot easier than 2.0 cause you won't need to change much. as far as i can see you need mounts due to oil filter you can buy them from retro ford website, need to plug holes in block and skim and either decomp plate or skim pistons, i'd look into that abit more though before making a choice of what to do ie how thicker plate or how much skimed??

ZVH Engines. The "ZVH" engine is a Ford Zetec bottom end (1.8 or 2.0 litre) with a Ford CVH head fitted. To fit the head to the block there are 3 problems to overcome - 1) Compression ratio. 2) The redundant oil return passages in the Zetec block that need to be blanked off. 3) There is a waterway in the Zetec block that sits very close to an oil gallery in the CVH head.
A copper decompression plate will tackle all of these 3 problems in one go (assuming this is a turbo engine), and will allow easy fitment of block to head. If you have already sorted out issues 2 & 3, then a (cheaper) alloy plate can be used.
