How can i tell a 2.0 zetec block from an 18CVH block. I have just found out through a pm that the CVH and xetec can interchange parts. and i got this engine in a kit project purchase the owner was adamant it was a 2.0 litre, i told him no it has to be 1.8 ford never did a 2.0 cvh, now these hybrid motors? he could be right. How can i tell physically what engine it actually is.

what head is it, i believe its normal to use the Zetec head on the CVH block. not the other way around, but i could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's the other way round, to put a CVH head on Zetec block to create a 'ZVH'..
Usually to create a stronger higher capacity Zetec block with the existing CVH manifolds and particularly the Turbo in Escorts and Fiestas etc

CVH head on zetec block so the block you will have will be a 2 litre zetec. It will require some work the oilways I believe. We did a conveversion on a RS Escort series 2 but opted to fit the full 2 litre zetec inc head oh and the mondeo MTX75 box. Currently running it in at around 260bhp. It goes loke a scalded cat

Left hand/exhaust side of the block shows engine capacity, 1.6, 1.8 or 2.0 and on the flange engine type and number.
