Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 Which isn't neccisarily a good thing Now regardless of the availability of tuning parts, whether or not they are good engines, and also taking into account the being different factor... will a 1.8 S1erra CVH or a Corsair 2000 V4 fit in the engine bay of my Anglia with no cutting??? I must say, I have been weighing up the CVH option as I have one knocking around which is the quietest CVH known to man, and I have also been playing around with my extendable steel tape. Or shall I go Sidevalve? Discuss
Rick Posted May 14, 2008 Report Posted May 14, 2008 go for it man, if you have engines lying around better than going to waste as long as it stays rwd
Gonzo Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 A CVH would be different, but an old skool V4 would be even more different in an anglebox! Get the V4!!!
mk14dr Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 CVH the turbo it Aren't 1800 CHV's made of Cadburys? No good for boost However a standard 1800 from a seirra will go on for miles if looked after, be quieter than a xflow, and won't exactly be slow D
Mick The Mig Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Don't matter what it is Jim as long as it don't go BANG!!! or make horridable noises.

over_head_cam Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 You know my thoughts Jim, be different! There's tons of them about and they're cheap as chips for bits so why not. If you're not looking for ballistic performance, but you do want a reliable upgrade I reckon the CVH is ideal
pelvins Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 i know someone who has a cvh turbo for sale , once i give you that elusive spin out in mine i know yourl want more power
escortmad79 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 1800 CVHs & V4s are a waste of time, fit a decent pre crossflow or with a bit of work fit a crossflow or Lotus TC
Fiesta Steve Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 You know my thoughts Jim, be different! There's tons of them about and they're cheap as chips for bits so why not. If you're not looking for ballistic performance, but you do want a reliable upgrade I reckon the CVH is ideal A well built CVH will be ballistic How about a ZVH, CVH head on a 2 litre Zetec block. Much cheaper to tune than a zetec, plus you can still use the 5ierra dizzy instead of buying expensive ecu things. Easy 160 bhp on carbs plus shit loads of 2 litre torque, do it jimbob
corsair dean Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 there is a v4 from a 2000e on fleabay at the moment: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-CORSAIR-2000 ... dZViewItem

Nettles Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Did somebody say "V" Oooooh I do like a nice V engine! Go for it fella the V4 gets my vote
Gonzo Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 I agree with this man! V4 4TW!!! You know you wanna keep it Old Skool Jimmy!
mk2_escort_chick Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Jim you thinking is a very dangerous thing...especially when u're considering cvh's! Tut tut tut!!!
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 LOL I didn't think this would get so many replies I know alot of people hate them, but I do like a CVH, you just need to look after them. As I say, the one I have in my old Orion was given oil and filter changes at every 6000 miles and is a very very sweet little engine. Steve, my first thoughts were about trying to mount engine mounts to the block, but you may have hit a very important nail on the head there... ZVH I do like the sound of a V4 though. I wonder how heavy it is compared to the Pre Crossflow
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 Jim you thinking is a very dangerous thing...especially when u're considering cvh's!Tut tut tut!!! I know, but I just can't help it Oh Sarah, did Dean get my reply to his rude PM???
