shafts
I have a cvh box too but would lile to use the thicket diesel shafts male the xr2i shaft look small...
I also got a question regarding flywheels.
When i bought the engine it had a flywheep fitted to it, i fitted a CG motorsport clutch 220mm but my flywheel when i measure the machined contact surface is max 210 mm maybe a fw mm less i was using. cvh box on it and seemed to be okay until i took the clutch off and noticed a unusual wear line where the friction plate had been riding on the chamfer of the flywheel, are there any noticeable dofferences between xvh efi wheel and a silvertop 2.0?

Diesel gearboxes fit cvh. I know this for sure. Cvh gearboxes fit zetecs as Ive seen zt conversions using rst gearboxes. So I dare say the diesel shafts will fit in what gearbox you chose to use. Although id say the ratios for the td wont be any good for a zt. End of the day what have you got to lose by trying one of the driveshafts when putting it all together, When everythings stripp and being rebuilt its a 2 minute job changing the shaft when everyhing is off
