Someone correct me if I'm wrong but im sure a ZVH is a Zetec bottom end and a CVH head.

Fitting a Zetec head on a ZVH will just give you a Zetec.

yes mate you can...and obviously you will turn it back to a zetec.you will however have to change the water pump and cam belt tensioner back to zetec ones as well.plus to do a zvh conv. you have to block four oil ways in the face of the block,these will need unblocking....alot are welded but some have metal plugs in them ...........hope this helps :wink:

if you had a zvh turbo bottom end and you want to turn it back to a zetec turbo then you would have to do what i have said above.....its basically a zvh reversal ..does that help.. :-?

the four front oil ways are blocked for the cvh head...it is done because the cvh is 8v instead of the 16 in a zetec...you will need to unblock them :(

the only reasons i can think of are ; so thst the manifolds fit straight on and so that the engine bay looks 'as standard' :)

what modifications will a zetec engine need to take a turbo on?
apart from lowering the compression and making the manifold and inlet fit of course.
