Alright all im currently looking to do a zvh conversion for my mk xr2i i already have a 2 litre mondeo blacktop engine a 1.8 16v xr2i engine and the 1.6 cvh engine plus gearboxes for all of them if anyone can give me some advice or knows of a guide to what i need to do it would be much appreciated cheers rich

 

there is loads of guides on the net just google ZVH, read a couple as iv found loads that say diffrent things . you running N/A or boosted?

1 thing i would say is make use you get the right head gasket as i got one that said it would work and it over lapped the bores!

i have just finished building my boosted 2.1 ZVH, so can help with some little bits and pics if you need them. just PM me

 

cheers for that mate its just gunna be n/a for now as i presume the zvh wont look much different to the cvh as far as insurance companies are concerned so where as a turbo will slightly give the game away lol

 

unless they look at enigne codes they will never know not that im telling you to do this.

 

i have found out a bit more about doing the zvh using a black top mondeo engine and am a bit confussed as to weather or not i can use the silvertop sump and oil pump as some people say yes some say no has anyone any ideas also what gearbox choices do i have with this seeing as it is rear mounted starter motor cheers in advance
